As we anticipate continuing our traditional Holiday Party tomorrow, can we take a moment to brag on how our Amazing Admin duo of Janet Casteen and Jen Acevedo transformed our lobby so that our teams and guests walk through our front door into a Winter Wootenland? They make sure we get everything done every day – and make special occasions more special, too.

Today, the Town of Princeville took a major step towards the creation of a new crown jewel for the historic community. The 53-acre site will include residential and commercial development as well as community facilities and outdoor amenities. With additional funding now in place, the site is ready for initial build-out including utilities, roadways, storm drainage, and sidewalks.

For more than five years, Wooten has been involved in the project. This includes scoping, development, fund procurement, master planning, technical design, permitting, and bidding. The project was made possible thanks to federal funding from FEMA and HUD as well as state support from a direct appropriation and the NC Department of Commerce.

Princeville distinguishes itself as the first town in the United States founded by free Black Americans. Dating back to its establishment in 1885, it has contended for more than a century with severe and sometimes catastrophic flooding which has become more frequent and extreme since the turn of the century.

The 53-acre site, situated at higher elevation near Highway 64, marks an opportunity for the town to expand and welcome past, current, and future residents as well as new investment in the community.
