POVERTY
From Page 1
the significant black population close to
the landfill, the area’s persistent prob
lems caused black residents to feel
rejected by the community.
“In the black community, we felt we
were being overlooked,” McMillan said.
“Being a low-rate place to live, it was
maybe like a project area because not
only were we a black community, we
also had bad sewage and water.”
Similar complaints of water contam
ination have also come from residents
around the quarry.
The quarry expansion is a project on
N.C. 54 and Bethel-Hickory Grove
Church Road, which is being drilled by
the American Stone Company.

The drilling is not expected to be
completed until 2030, when American
Stone will turn the quarry over to the
Orange Water and Sewer Authority.
OWASA will transform the quarry
into a reservoir for local water needs.
Orange County officials say the area
will be in dire need of additional water
sources as it grows.
In addition to water contamination,
residents also complain that the blasting
away of rock at the quarry is causing
both undesirable noise and damage to
their homes. They claim that this is low
ering the economic status of the area.
“The value of the land is going down,”
said Roy Belon, a homeowner near the
quarry. “I don’t know why anyone would
want to come in and buy (the land).”
But administrators for both of these
areas insist that the landfill and quarry

are not the causes of these problems.
They argue that both land uses are ben
eficial to the community.
“We contribute jobs, good jobs,” said
Paxton Badham, vice president and
assistant secretary of the American
Stone Company. “We’ve been a real
benefit to the county.”
The administrators also contend that
these land uses are not contributing to a
lower economic class in areas around
the quarry and landfill. “If you look at
the census, the income is considerably
higher than you would think," Wilson
said, although he could not cite statistics
pinpointing incomes within the area.
Wilson also explained that the rapid
residential growth in the area around the
landfill is evidence that the landfill is not
causing a poverty-stricken area.
“Over half of the houses have been

built since the landfill was built,” Wilson
said. “If the landfill is so bad, why do
people keep building houses around it?”
Housing development has also blos
somed in the area around the quarry
expansion project. Bethel Church and
Hickory Grove roads contain new
homes valued at several hundreds of
thousands of dollars, Wilson said.
But on the northern side of the quar
ry are 34 Habitat for Humanity homes,
which are houses provided for low
income families.
The Orange County Habitat for
Humanity organization has built more
than 90 homes in Orange County, and
it expects to complete its 100th home in
the spring.
But in the entire county, about one

Phillips also said BOG members must
act as intermediaries between the 16
UNC-system campuses and the N.C.
General Assembly. He added he is not
sure exactly how the BOG will act in a
situation where its wants and the wants of
individual campuses conflict. “We’re sort
of the middlemen here," he said. “We’ve
been called on to make some decisions.”

people are located near the quarry
expansion project, Wilson said.
Wilson explained that the locations of
of the quarry and the landfill were prob
ably chosen because of the property val
ues in that area. “If you are looking to buy
property, you are not looking for proper
ty values that are the highest,” he said.
Chapel Hill Town Council member
Jim Ward said he thinks both the landfill
and quarry areas contain residents of a
lower economic status.
“I think there’s a certain amount of
disenfranchised people in the area,”
Ward said.
“I think land decisions are made
without (the residents’) full input, and
that does contribute to their status.”

university needs a S4OO tuition increase.
“With recent budget cuts in Raleigh,
which are being passed through to the
constituent universities, a tuition
increase is needed,” he said. “I would
assume we’ve been able to produce sat
isfactory evidence that a S4OO campus
based increase is needed at N.C. State.”
But Warwick defended his proposal,
saying it was key to maintaining access
for students. He said, “We have a man
date to provide these students with
access if they’re qualified, and that’s
what we’re trying to do.”

increase passed with a vote of 4-2.
Larson said the proposal failed due
to a lack of dialogue between Congress
and the three groups. WXYC, STV and
CUAB members said that their groups
reserve seats on their boards of directors
for Congress members to prevent fund
ing requests from being a surprise but
that many of these seats are not filled.
Larson said much of the confusion
came from Speaker Mark Townsend’s
failure to make these appointments to stu
dent groups’ committees. “It’s a shame
he’s slack in making his appointments.”

But more importantly, the council’s
approval of the expedited review for the
Rizzo Center project shows a working
relationship exists between the Town
Council and the University, council
member Pat Evans said.
“This decision shows our coopera
tion with the University," she said. “It
always helps to have a helping hand."
