PARCEL & PROJECT HISTORY

Parcel Previously Acquired
The 5.18 acre at 2361 Lennoxville Road, owned by the Loftin family, was acquired in 2006. Its historical use was as a junk yard and operating facility for a crane and heavy metal fabrication business. The parcel has been thoroughly remediated to residential standards, stoned, fenced and is being used as an outdoor boat storage facility. A well has been drilled and pump installed for boat wash downs.

BFI Parcels
The 24.99 acre parcel is comprised of a 16.82 acre tract adjacent to the east of the 5.18 acre parcel north of Lennoxville Road and an 8.17 acre tract across Lennoxville Road to the south and bordered by 750'+ of waterfront on Taylor's creek. The relics of the Menhaden plant and aging sea walls and piers stand on the 8.17 acre parcel.

All parcels are in Carteret County but are included in the Town of Beaufort's ETJ (Town Expansion) zoning jurisdiction.

Oliver has been seeking the BFI property since mid-2004.
