[This is a “prequel” to three April 2025 posts with updated information. Go HERE for the latest update on this Brownfield site, which was razed in October 2024. High levels of chloromethane have been found at different locations around the property. Nothing has been built on the site.]

This is a collection of documents related to a Brownfield application for redevelopment of a 28-acre site formerly known as “Red Rock Trailer Park,” at the corner of Guilford College Road and Wendover Avenue. The owner/developer wants to build a high density residential/commercial project.

The parcels that make up the site are addressed as 4809, 4813, 4815 and 4821 West Wendover Avenue, and 1118, 1124, 1128 and 1132 Guilford College Road.

As a reminder, a Brownfield is an abandoned, idled or underused property where the threat of existing environmental contamination limits its future use. The Brownfields Program is North Carolina’s effort to break the barrier to the redevelopment of these sites. The Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997 [NCGS 130A310.30 et seq.] sets forth the NC DEQ’s authority to work with prospective developers to put these Brownfields sites back into reuse.

In July 2021, the state approved the Brownfield application for this local site, but development of the property hinged on the results of an environmental assessment.
