Hwy 16 By-Pass….open to St James Rd

Posted in News on March 16th, 2010 by Leslie Auton

For those of us who live in the northern part of Denver or in southeastern Catawba County our commute to Charlotte just got a whole lot shorter.  No more driving by several schools to commute to Charlotte each morning.  You can now get on Hwy 16 By-Pass at St James Rd and be in Charlotte in less than 30 minutes. 

The Hwy 16 By-Pass through Denver has been in process since the early 1990’s and we can finally see the end in sight.    The opening of this four lane stretch of Hwy 16 to St James Rd will help commuters from communities such as James Plantation, Pebble Bay, Killian Crossing, Bordeaux, Windy Pines, Sailview, Lakewood and Webbs Chapel Cove get to Charlotte or anywhere south of Denver NC much more quickly. 

There are still two more sections to open before it ties back into the Hwy 16 By-Pass at Tower Rd, just north of Hwy 150.  They should open the section to Hwy 150 by Spring 2011 and then the portion to the existing Hwy 16 by Fall of 2011.   Eventually, you should be able to travel from Charlotte to Hickory on a four-laned Hwy 16 and save a tremendous amount of time.

Great News for the Charlotte Area…including Denver!!

Posted in News on March 11th, 2010 by Leslie Auton

A huge announcement involving Siemens Energy in Charlotte should happen today.   Click here for more information.  

With the opening of the four-lane Hwy 16, most of Denver is now within a half hour of Charlotte.  So, if there are a potential 800 jobs coming to Siemens Energy, then it is probable that some of those employees would consider Denver as their home.

NAHB: Cost-Effective Green a Trend to Watch, NAHB Says

Posted in News on January 21st, 2010 by Leslie Auton
January 21, 2010 - The key to the mainstreaming of green is to make sure that consumers understand the value of green upgrades – and exactly how cost-effective that sustainable construction can be in the long run, according to four green home building professionals who spoke at a press conference on Wednesday at the National Association of Home Builders’ International Builders’ Show.

Builders, remodelers and product manufacturers are beginning to green their processes and incorporate more energy-, water- and resource-efficient features. They are learning how to reduce waste on the job site to save enough money to pay for these upgrades – and help ensure that the builder makes a profit, said consultant Steve Bertasso, who helps builders achieve these measures.

Green building has truly reached the tipping point because it’s moving out of the custom home market into the realm of high-production homes, he added. “This year is going to be a big change in the production [building] environment,” Bertasso predicted. “Consumers are asking questions they didn’t ask two and a half years ago and contractors are making better decisions.”

The key to reducing the nation’s energy use is to green existing homes, said Philip Beere, who is remodeling distressed properties near Phoenix’s new rapid transit line. Adding insulation, improving the ventilation and air conditioning systems and replacing turf grass with landscaping more appropriate to the Southwest’s desert climate doesn’t cost much more than a traditional remodel, but “retrofitting these homes to be green is a good solution,” he said.

Connecticut home builder Jim Pepitone called himself a “late adopter,” but one who has finally seen the green light – and believes the rest of the industry can’t be far behind. Builders need to educate consumers on air sealing, the importance of right-sized heating systems and good insulation, and the advantages of rooms that can serve more than one purpose so the home can be smaller and less expensive. “We need to make sustainable attainable,” he said.
