Thompson estimates a 1998 to 2000 relocation could bring a one time boost in home building, with Craven County most affected as 60 percent of NADEP workers and 85 percent of Cherry Point personnel move nearby.

Railroad lease dispute pits private shareholders against state control
Walker Rucker of Greensboro urges commissioners to block a vote on a new 15 year lease of the 317 mile North Carolina Railroad to Norfolk Southern. Shareholders object to terms of the proposed deal while the state owns 75 percent of shares and appoints most board members.
