The committee stayed basically around the Eno River, the area at the Medical Center, around Cone Mills --south of the Eno, the alleyway in town, Cedar Lane, the cemetery and the hanging site by Cameron Park School. Item 2: Resolution approving a proposed amendment to the redevelopment plan for the Old Cone Mills Plant Redevelopment Area. Melissa Thomas was present and explained to the board that the amendment was needed to be made due to 1) the structure of the Eno Dev. Corp. changing from a Corporation with 80% owned by a New England Co. to a partnership with 40% now owned by Lane Management and Development. 2) When the request for the bonds was made it included purchasing the property from Cone Mills, since then Lane Management has entered into an agreement with Cone where they would finance the purchase so the entire 2.5 million would go toward the rehabilitation and not toward the purchase of the property. The Bond Co. advised Lane Management that since the structure of the Co. had changed and the purchase would no longer come out of the bond money then the amendment needed to be made. Goodwin stated to Thomas her concern about the parking lot and the need to allow for storm water drainoff. Thomas said that CHR would be more familiar with this matter, but she knew they had plans for landscaping.
