Wallace
gets 2
incentive grants
The old McGill Service
Station building across from
Mauney Memorial Library
may soon get a facelift and
the Edward Jones building at
203 Battleground in down-
town Kings Mountain will
also be renovated by Steve
Wallace of Kings Mountain
Properties.
Kings Mountain City
Council last Tuesday night
gave the green light to the
two Wallace projects in a
resolution awarding a down-
town incentive grant of
$11,000.
~ Broker Jack Buchanan
will continue to operate his
office in the Edward Jones
building while the renova-
tion is underway.
Planning Director Steve
Killian said that painting
with a color representing the
original color and preserva-
tion of the metal roof will be
a major cost in the service
station construction, for
which Ken Pflieger has pre-
pared the facade elevation.
Wallace says he plans to
remove brick from the sec-
ond floor windows of the
Edward Jones building and
replace with windows simi-
lar to the original windows.
The window installation on
the second level is the first
phase of rehabilitating the
second level into future of-
fice space. He also plans in
future construction to re-
place entrance doors on the
lower level with new doors
that will be similar to pic-
tures of the building in 1947,
and replace the lower level
windows with transoms in
keeping with the guidelines
of the Main Street program.
Wallace also plans to replace
trim and woodwork on the
facade and install signage on
. the facade.
Wallace said in his appli-
cation that he plans in the fu-
ture to also remove all
moldings and trim work
from the service station at
100 E. King Street, refinish
or replace the entrance door
and windows to original
condition ‘and remove all
gutter and drains and replace
them.
Steve Padgett, a member
of the economic restructur-
ing committee for Moun-
taineer Partnership, took the «
occasion to thank Council
for their support of incentive
grants for downtown busi-
nesses.

Kings Mountain City
Council has approved an
amendment to the down-
town incentive grant pro-
gram that Planning
Director Steve Killian sees
as a first for a Main Street
City, a model perhaps that
other municipalities may
want to follow.
Killian told the board
last Tuesday night that the
amended policy would pro-
vide an incentive for devel-
oping facade projects that
meet the standards in the
zoning ordinance's down-
town protection overlay
and enhance the historical
significance of the city. It
will also meet the Main
Street City principles for
building preservation,
© specifically the US Secre-
tary of the Interior's stan-
dards for rehabilitation.
The projects okayed by
council would have Main
Street staff input at the be-

will please you.
~ ginning of a project. Grant
funds awarded after com-
pletion of a project would
include a small amount to
help the property owner
pay for scale drawings by
an architect, Killian said.
By its action, council
has also streamlined the re-
view process by using only
the one committee called
for in the zoning ordinance
to work with planning and
city codes staffs.
"Kings Mountain is a
state-designated Main
Street City and these new
changes in the incentive
grant program will result in
a higher quality of facade -
design that meets the his-
torically appropriate reno-
vation standards, and the
result will also better sat-
isfy the building code re-
quirements for commercial
development," said Killian.
Interest in facade grants
has picked up and grants
were the bulk of the agenda
at the recent meeting.
