King Shopping Center

KING SHOPPING CENTER

Situated in the 3400 block on Bragg Boulevard, King's serves several new residential developments in addition to others that have been established for some time. Being on six lanes, NC 24 and NC 87 causes its facilities to be very accessible from most any spot in the area. The largest public eating facility in the community is located in this center. Developments presently under construction and others on file with the City Planning Department assure its continued growth. Its facilities today are quite complete and are supple- mented by retail, food and service operations along the Boulevard. As might be observed, ample room remains for expansion in the future.

HAYMOUNT SHOPPING CENTER

Haymount, as might be surmised from the photo below, is situated in an area which not too many years ago was on the outskirts of the City. It is situated where Fayetteville's Main street, Hay, splits to become Fort Bragg Road and Morganton Road. In Haymount, one can find the answer to most all needs, even having its own fire station (No. 2) and post office. Traffic in the area is increased by general office operations and the fact that it is situated at a crossroads serving numerous areas to the west and southwest of the down- town area. Specialty shops, service operations and eating establishments pro- vide the answer to most any shopper's needs.

Haymount Shopping Center

EUTAW SHOPPING CENTER

"Eutaw", located in the 20th block off busy Bragg Boulevard, is a most complete shopping center that has never stopped growing since it was first opened in 1954. Because of the fact that it was planned with the future in mind it can continue to grow for years and yet have adequate room for parking. Its facilities serve quite an area on either side of the six lane boulevard which carries NC 24 and NC 87. It is easily accessible from most any point in the area.

INTRODUCTION

TALLYWOOD SHOPPING CENTER

The photo below hardly does justice to Tallywood! With new starts almost weekly, any picture is dated. As might be judged, this center was designed with the future in mind and well that it was. It is situated on US 401 and is in the very heart of many existing developments plus others that are on the draw- ing boards. In addition to the highway which it faces, it is just off the principal by-pass, connecting US 401 South with US 301 and Interstate 95.

INTRODUCTION

BRICK HOMES ROLLING TERRAIN

PINE TREES

These Three factors, blended with beautiful flowers and friendly people, cause The Fayetteville Area to be a wonderful place to live, grow up, retire or visit. The homes pictured above are quite typical of the many livable homes in the area, whether in the City of Fayetteville or in the urban area.

Since the 1960 Bureau of the Census Study, Cumberland County has seen five thousand new homes erected. These vary from the conservative houses at $9,000 to those on one acre to two acre lots overlooking beautiful lakes .. These homes seem to all be conveniently close to churches, schools and shopping centers, with splendid bus service to the downtown area. Homes are available for either sale or rent. For those who prefer the convenient apartment life to that of the homeowner, with his many responsibilities, there are several to select from and additional units constantly under construction.

The several developments included in the aerial photograph shown below emphasize the well planned curved drives and streets that tend to lessen the monotony of the straight streets in days gone by.

Evergreen & Welmar ($15-$20,000) ($14-$18,000)

Fayetteville and Cumberland County, with some two hundred churches, could rightfully be termed "A Community of Churches." The two churches shown are splendid examples of the influence of churches through the years. First Presbyterian, pictured below, was the result of the original Scots, who came up the Cape Fear River to establish homes on its banks. It was originally built, as it stands today, in 1800, being restored following a disastrous fire in 1831 which destroyed all but two houses in the community. Snyder Memorial Baptist, built in 1959, gives evidence of a continued fine influence within the community. In addition to most all protestant faiths, the Fayetteville Area also has a beautiful new Jewish Synagogue, Beth Israel, and a fine Greek Orthodox Hellenic Community Center.

Listed in the current Fayetteville telephone directory are the following churches-Assembly of God, One; Baptist, Seventeen; Catholic, Two; Christian, One; Christian and Missionary Alliance, One; Church of Christ, One; Congre- gational, One; Episcopal, Two; Greek Orthodox, One, Holiness, Two; inter- denominational, One; Jehovahs Witnesses, One; Jewish, One; Latter Day Saints; One; Lutheran, Three; Methodist, Eleven; Non-Denominational, One; Presby- terian, Eight; Salvation Army, One and Seventh-Day Adventist, One.

INTRODUCTION

As indicated by this list, the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian faiths are predominant in the community in that order. Presently under construction are new sanctuaries for several of the churches for completely new congre- gations. Among the new sanctuaries included in the totals above are St .- Patrick's Catholic and Haymount Methodist. Peace Presbyterian is one of the newer congregations with a new sanctuary that is not included above.

Unison of the local religious community is especially evidenced by the unanimous financial support given to the new Methodist College by people of all faiths. The older and original churches in downtown Fayetteville are still most active and strong, and are open to the public for meditation and prayer throughout the week. Their chimes and bells lend a restful and reverent atmosphere to the downtown portion of the city. Those located in the im- mediate downtown area are First Baptist Church, First Presbyterian Church, Hay Street Methodist Church and St. John's Episcopal Church.

"Twelve Months Golf"

"TWELVE MONTHS GOLF"

Fayetteville's two Country Clubs, Highland (shown above) and Green Valley, both have splendid facilities and challenging eighteen hole courses. A new clubhouse is currently under construction by Green Valley.

For the really avid golfer, The Fayetteville Area is a paradise! Ten miles north and west of Fayetteville lies Fort Bragg, which also has two out- standing courses, both eighteen holes.

Immediately adjoining The Fort Bragg Reservation is the world famous Pinehurst - Southern Pines Golf Empire which offers eight courses comprising one hundred thirty-five holes.

A favorite of many in Fayetteville is a nine hole pitch and putt course. It is also home of the internationally famous Putt-Putt Golf Courses, two of which are operated in the City.

Within a thirty-five mile radius of Fayetteville, one could play on a dif- ferent course every other day during the month with little inconvenience and no duplication!

FAYETTEVILLE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

This fine modern structure was provided by the people of The Fayetteville Area and is operated by the State of North Carolina. Training provided by the Fayetteville Technical Institute consists of both pre-employment and on the job. Following joint job analysis by the school staff and the prospective employer, training classes may be set up either in the school, the employer's plant, or in other suitable quarters. Instructors will be provided by the State. The Employment Security Commission, which has a Divisional Office in Fayetteville, will administer general aptitude tests and refer potential employees to firms for selection prior to actual training. This facility has very modern equipment for use in training and is constantly entering new fields. The program is set up in such a manner that new courses can be pro- vided to fit most any business or industrial need. The institute can and will operate around the clock if needs be.

Fayetteville Technical Institute

Employment as of February 29, 1964 was as follows:

Instructors: Full Time - 23 Students: Day - 193 Part Time - 28 Night - 522

The Fayetteville Area has been classified as one with surplus available labor for some time and will most likely continue so into the future. Originally, a portion of this surplus was caused by the rapid expansion of the City of Fayetteville and nearby Spring Lake. Between 1940 and 1960 The Bureau of the Census reported a drop of over 1,000 farm units in Cumberland County. The occupants of these units formed a surplus that has been increased monthly by military separations at nearby Fort Bragg. Today, many of these separations are twenty year men, ages 38-42, who have had extensive technical experience in fields such as electronics. Estimated population within twenty-five mile radius is 172,950 as of June 8, 1964.

HOSPITALS

Designed for expansion, Cape Fear Valley Hospital now has 200 beds. Is is situated on a site that was acquired with full consideration for expanded needs. HIGHSMITH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL has 127 beds. Both are operated by Cumberland County.

Its staff of 23 employees also provides daily service in processing driver's license examinations. Equipment consists of 14 mobile units.

Fayetteville Fire Station No. 5 FIRE PROTECTION

City of Fayetteville

The City of Fayetteville maintains a most adequate fire department which gives local businesses and industries the benefit of an NB3 Insurance Rating; as fine as any in the State of North Carolina. This is accomplished through the combination of modern equipment and adequate training facilities. Presently there are five stations, Central Station being located in the downtown area and the other four at strategic points throughout the city. The permanent force is 74 with 20 additional volunteers. There are twenty-one pieces of mobile equip- ment, all with radio control from Central Station. The average water pressure maintained at hydrants is 65 pounds. A system of 258 alarm boxes are situated at strategic places throughout the city. Industries situated adjacent to the city, however outside the actual city limits, may arrange for protection by the City Fire Department under certain conditions. In a number of instances, city water mains have been extended to service industries under such conditions. A very thorough inspection program keeps fire hazards at a minimun and also permits members of the department to be familiar with structures throughout the city. A fire prevention educational program is carried on continually with the city school system. The fire department also operates a rescue squad and has special equipment for that purpose.

Cumberland County

Twelve volunteer or community fire departments are operated throughout the County. The rural fire tax rate is ten cents per $100 of assessed valu- ation. This, of course, is not payable by those in Cross Creek Township (Fayetteville). These units function with a total personnel of 300 and in several instances, include reserve squads in addition to those of the fire department activities. Their pieces of mobile equipment total twenty-nine and in most all instances include two-way radio contact between the various stations and members of the volunteer forces. These units in the county have a very active program which includes several rescue squads with special equipment. All are housed in buildings constructed and equipped for the service.

Water Treatment Plant

WATER AND SEWER TREATMENT PLANTS

Fayetteville has a very modern water system that is definitely designed for the future as well as the present. Today its supply of soft, high grade water comes from a system of surface lakes which should be quite adequate for years to come, even with the present rapid rate of growth. The average pres- sure is 65 pounds and that is assured primarily by three elevated one million gallon reservoirs. The Public Works Commission, which operates the water supply and distribution system for the City of Fayetteville, has done a most creditable job of filling current needs and anticipating those of the future. To supplement the existing system of lakes, the Commission has recently install- ed a new twelve million gallon pump on the Cape Fear River, with a direct line to the water treatment plant shown above.

The sewage disposal plant below, is most modern and as may be seen, is designed for expansion to meet future needs. This service is also operated by the Public Works Commission and is constantly expanding to meet the increas - ing needs of a rapidly growing community. The plant services are expanded and maintained out of operating revenue. It is designed to handle industrial as well as domestic waste.

American Bakeries

Another Specialty manufacturer in the area is Christy Manufacturing Company which ships its sewn and stuffed toys all over the United States and into some foreign countries as well. With a growing population such as that of the Fayetteville Area, service operations are, of course, quite necessary.

INTRODUCTION

Fasco Industries-Ventilating & Heating Equipment

Pictured above is the plant of Fasco Industries, Inc., which produces air circulators and heating devices. Operations in the metal field have increased considerably in recent years. Most recent to enter the area was Canam, Inc., a manufacturer of tobacco tying machines, which started production January, 1963. The parent firm is the Brantford Oven and Rack Company, Ltd. of Brantford, Ontario. Expansion into fields now served by the Canadian firm are planned for the future. Also active in the metal field are Union Corrugated Co., Hersules Steel Company, Inc. and several others set up primarily to either service existing metal equipment or to design and fabricate new. Two firms, primarily engaged in productions related to agriculture are the Planters Chemical Corporation and Cape Fear Feed Products, Inc. The latter firm is active in the foreign as well as domestic poultry feed supplement markets. Both of these firms have entered the area during the past five years and found results to warrent expansion over original planning. Capitol Manu- facturing Company, a manufacturer of picture mouldings, is another compara- tive newcomer that has found need for expansion several times since locating in the area. Other phases of the woodwork field are quite active with Rankin Brothers producing plywood chair seats, backs, arms, legs, industrial plywood parts in its plant.
