Greenway has been asking

“It’s not a critical neigh

house is about 50 years

getting very positive feed

exemplified by the senti

shop, held Tuesday, March

more of a ceremony than a

“There were 80 residents

Williams and Bill Lott,
field representative for the
Neighborhood Reinvest
ment Corp., visited every
bank and savings and loan
in the city, government
officials and representa
tives from citywide organi
zations, such as the Nation
al Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored Peo
ple, Experiment in Self-Re
liance and the , Urban
League.
“We put together an NHS
ad-hoc development group
with representatives from
all the city groups,” Wil
liams said. Then, the group
of 48 people touched, base
with almost every neigh
borhood association in the
city to recruit representa
tives. Those representa
tives went to Blowing Rock
for a two-day conference to
discuss the program.
The city agreed to pay
National Neighborhood Re
investment Corporation
$35,000 to organize the
NHS program, Williams
said.
For the past year, work
shops have been held to
organize the program. The
first workshop was held last
July to begin the planning
process. The site selection
committee, with assistance
from William McNeil, the
City/County Planning
Board, researched and ana
lyzed data on neighbor
hoods using National Rein
vestment criteria along
with some local criteria.
“They were looking for
three things,” Williams
said. “Sound housing
stock, substantial home
ownership and an income
mix, ranging from low to
moderate. The NHS made a
concentrated push to dis
cuss the program with resi
dents and answer any ques
tions to confirm there was
sufficient interest. “As part
of the developing process,
we took 18 residents to
ty. Eight-five percent of the
people who live in Green
way are there for life. I
talked to residents and they
said they were glad some
thing is being done. Every
one could see Greenway
slipping but no one knew
what to do. ”
Canty, a young homeown
er who has been living in
Greenway for three and
one-half years, said he is
happy for this opportunity.
“With interest rates so
high,” Canty said, “most
young homeowners can’t
afford to get this type of
work done on their
homes.”
Canty said there are many
other young couples in
Greenway who probably
feel the same. “We want
Greenway to be as pretty as
it was 15 or 20 years ago,”
Canty said.
One good thing about the
program is that the resi
dents have the last word in
deciding what to do for the
house and how. much, Can
ty said. Once all the homes
in the neighborhood are
brought up to code stand
ards, if residents want fur
ther work done on their
homes, they can make that
decision. Canty also said
that a revolving loan pro
gram, set up by NHS, will
help residents who are
skeptical, because of their
incomes, about participat
ing.
NHS has a total operating
budget of $210,000 for a
three-year period or
$70,000 a year. The city has
contributed $150,000 to the
Neighborhood Reinvest
ment Corporation in grants.
The program has three
goals, Williams said. One is
to renew confidence in the
neighborhood. “There is a
high correlation between
neighborhood decline and
deterioration and the confi
dence residents have in the
neighborhood,” Williams
said. “The NHS also wants
to have a long-term stabiliz-
