Executive Plaza Dedicated
Ribbon Cutting
I
The Executive Plaza was officially dedicated with a Ribbon
Cutting ceremony Friday afternoon, March 26 with Mayor
Margaret Slagle cutting the ribbon. The Plaza was built in 1974 by
Clevenger Construction Co. and is owned by Jack and Jim
Clevenger. The building contains 7,200 square feet of usable space
all of which is under lease, except one 300 foot, one person office.
A large down stairs suite and warehouse storage area has just
recently been completed and is occupied by Royal Press, Inc.
The Executive Plaza has filled a real need in Black Mountain
for office space on an executive and-or professional level. Seven
new businesses or professional men have established businesses
there providing jobs for themselves and others, thus putting more
money into circulation within the Township. Those having offices
there include - The Black Mountain - Swannanoa Chamber of
Commerce: I It's oldest tenant I; Dr. Robert Dickey, Optometrist:
Dr. Timothy Tucker, Dentist; William S. Eubanks, Attorney;
Stepp - Nichols Realty Company, Real Estate; Red Nichols,
owner and manager; Callis and Nesbitt Construction So. (soon to
open a office) and Royal Press Inc., Religious and Inspirational
Books, Bob Hopper, Manager an owner.
One need that is clearly apparent is that of a sidewalk along the
street in front of the Exxon Station. The Burger Hutt and The
Executive Plaza and the Soft Ice Cream Shop. This would not
necessitate the purenase of a right-of-way as the widewalk would
be on the parking and turn areas of the businesses served.
Many people are now walking from town to get to this area and
cossing U.S. 70 at this point is almost an impossibility now and
will become increasingly more difficult as the summer
progresses.
