The Halifax County Economic Development Commission, working with Halifax County Business Horizons, Inc., the City of Roanoke Rapids and the Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments, is coordinating the effort to have the former WestPoint Stevens Site (Sonrise Industrial Site) accepted into the NC Brownfield program (accepted in 2016). This effort will provide the pathway to assess, safely clean up, and sustainably redevelop this heavy industrial site without liability to future owners. Funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments has support the completion of environmental assessments and testing required by NC Division of Environmental Quality. Our goal is to receive a “Ready for Reuse” designation for this site that will allow future commercial and industrial uses without concern of environmental liability.
