  • Revised Economic Development Recommendations at 3Rd Meeting 1
    SMITH REYNOLDS AIRPORT/ WHITAKER PARK STRATEGIC AREA PLAN Economic Development Information Background The recent donation of the former R. J. Reynolds Whitaker Plant to the Whitaker Park Development Authority (WPDA) and planned improvements to Smith Reynolds Airport have created unique business/industrial growth opportunities in the north central portion of Winston- Salem. This area is within 3 – 4 miles of the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, Downtown Winston-Salem, Winston-Salem State University, and Wake Forest University, and is also home to many sites suitable for development and redevelopment. More information on the main economic magnets in this area and the surrounding neighborhood history follow below: Whitaker Park: The R. J. Reynolds Whitaker Plant was one of the company’s first major post- World War II manufacturing expansion away from its historic downtown operations. This plant was constructed in 1961 and served as R. J. Reynolds premier facility for over 50 years. The 850,000 square foot facility employed over 2,000 people and was at one time the largest cigarette manufacturing facility in the world. In 2017, R. J. Reynolds deeded the 13 building, 1.7 million square foot Whitaker Park campus to WPDA. Whitaker Park is divided into west and east sections totaling 120 acres. Whitaker Park West is composed primarily of the largest former Reynolds building. Cook Medical has purchased 850,000 square feet of building space in Whitaker Park West. The company plans to relocate 650 employees to the park from its current location on Hanes Mill Road. Whitaker Park East is comprised of 56 acres being subdivided into 10 lots, including five lots containing existing buildings totaling 353,000 square feet and five vacant lots.

    North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources State Historic Preservation Office Ramona M. Bartos, Administrator Governor Pat McCrory Office of Archives and History Secretary Susan Kluttz Deputy Secretary Kevin Cherry April 8, 2016 MEMORANDUM TO: Shelby Reap Office of Human Environment NCDOT Division of Highways FROM: Renee Gledhill-Earley Environmental Review Coordinator SUBJECT: Historic Structures Survey Report Addendum for the Replacement of Bridge 276 on SR 1001 over NC 67, B-5148, Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, ER 15-0994 Thank you for your letter of March 10, 2016, transmitting the above-referenced report. We have reviewed the information contained in the addendum that evaluates the National Register of Historic Places eligibility of the Silas Creek Parkway (FY4273), Peters Creek Parkway (FY4274) and University Parkway (FY4275), and offer the following comments. Given the lack of historical documentation for the three parkways, other than their planning and construction dates in the mid-1950s to early-1960s, we understand that evaluating them had to rely on the larger context of transportation planning of the period – a context that includes the design and construction of the highway or expressway system and emphasis on high speed vehicular traffic. Thus, these three parkways do reflect an era in transportation design and construction on a local level and possibly meet Criterion A for transportation history. Further, given their planning and construction dates, we do not believe they have to meet the exceptional significance criterion. That parkways of this period reflected the post-WWII goals of speedy, uninterrupted travel on economical road systems that provided more or wider lanes, eliminated at-grade crossings, and controlled access is somewhat reflected in Winston-Salem’s three parkways.
