    North Carolina Capital Facilities Finance Agency Annual Report June 30, 2019 North Carolina Department of State Treasurer 3200 Atlantic Avenue Raleigh, NC 27604 1 North Carolina Capital Facilities Finance Agency Annual Report June 30, 2019 The North Carolina Capital Facilities Finance Agency (NCCFFA or Agency) was created in 1986 to provide the benefits of tax-exempt financing to nonprofit private institutions of higher education in the State of North Carolina. It was originally named the North Carolina Educational Facilities Finance Agency. The act that created the NCCFFA was amended in the 1998 session of the General Assembly (Session Law 1998-124) to broaden its powers to permit financing facilities of kindergarten, elementary and secondary nonprofit private schools. This act was then amended again in the 1999-2000 session of the General Assembly (Senate Bill 1472) to change to the present name and to allow the Agency to finance additional types of capital projects with public purposes. Since 2000, subsequent amendments by the General Assembly have authorized financings for various other nonprofit entities within specified parameters. A state legislative change enacted in 2009 authorized the Agency to issue Recovery Zone Facility Bonds in accordance with the enactment of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for projects within locally declared recovery zones that promote economic development and increased employment. The legislative authority to issue Recovery Zone Facility Bonds expired on December 31, 2010. The NCCFFA is governed by a Board of Directors composed of seven members. Two of the members are the State Treasurer and the State Auditor, each of whom serve ex-officio.

  • Raleigh, North Carolina
    Coordinates: 35°46′N 78°38′W Raleigh, North Carolina Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee)[6] is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many Raleigh, North Carolina [7] oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of State capital city 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population as City of Raleigh 474,069 as of July 1, 2019.[4] It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.[8][9] The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County. Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013.[10] The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.[11] Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County.[12] The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

  • The People's Law: Popular Sovereignty and State Formation In
    The People‘s Law: Popular Sovereignty and State Formation in North Carolina, 1780- 1805 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory Scott King-Owen Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John L. Brooke, Advisor Dr. Alan Gallay Dr. Margaret E. Newell Copyright By Gregory Scott King-Owen 2011 Abstract Between 1780 and 1805 North Carolina‘s government struggled to define the parameters of statehood through its policies. In the creation of the state, petitions from ordinary citizens played a central role in the debate over the people and their relationship to the government. Courted by emerging Federalists in the late 1780s, the people found themselves elevated to a central role in the political life of the state through their petitioning power. By the late 1790s, however, lawyers turned away from the people as a source of power through petitioning and tried to channel grievances through a court system whose rules would protect the purity of process over the substantive claims of petitioners. ii Dedication To Shawn Ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε ἐκπίπτει iii Acknowledgments The hard-working staff of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History retrieved the more than two hundred boxes of archival material upon which this dissertation depends for its life-blood. Their help and the work of the archivists in saving and organizing the mundane documents of North Carolina‘s early government after the Revolution deserves not only my thanks but the generous applause and support of every citizen of the state.
