"Tarboro has a colored woman who was raised as a boy; does not recollect when she began to wear male clothing; still dresses and acts like a man; does a man's work, and bears a man's name. She has an aversion to being with women or doing their kind of work, and says she would go to the penitentiary before she would wear a bonnet. She is a mother, but not at all motherly, and her child calls her papa."

Expert Land Clearing Near Tarboro – King Land Clearing

Efficient and environmentally sound land clearing is an important factor in preparing a tract of land for construction, crop growing or landscaping. This process entails the cultivation and removal of plants such as trees, shrubs and other undesirable vegetation before the project's development. King Land Clearing is your one-stop-shop for the best land clearing near Tarboro, whether you are considering a massive construction project or preparing a piece of land for agriculture, or are in need of a service provider who can turn your overgrown piece of land into an ideal landscape for use with eye appeal.

With wide range services in land clearing, we seek to provide a one stop solution to all clients in North Carolina. It is important for us to know that no two projects are the same because they present a different set of conditions. That is why our team of highly qualified employees tackles every project with a lot of attention, using only modern equipment and environmentally friendly technologies to provide the highest quality of work. Regardless of whether it is a small residential block or a large commercial site, we guarantee that every project is done to the best of our ability and when you are done with your work, you receive a clean and well prepared site for the next stage.

Why Land Clearing is Essential

Land clearing means removal of vegetation, trees, shrubs, undergrowth and any obstruction to the intended use of a piece of land. This service is essential for several reasons:

Site Preparation

To build a solid ground work, the land has to be leveled first and that is done by removing everything that is on the land prior to construction or even laying of tiles on the compound. This makes it possible to lay proper foundations for building structures, construction of roads among other infrastructure.

Improved Land Usability

It is challenging to use land that is overgrown and even to get around in such a landscape. It prepares the land to be used or possessed by clearing it for either agricultural, construction, or leisure interest.

Fire Prevention

Cutting or removing excess vegetation minimises chances of fire outbreak especially in regions with increasing incidences of dry seasons. Proper grading ensures there is development of a safety zone around structures hence improving safety.

Pest Control

Vines and shrubs have been known to give hide out to pests and other undesirable species. Such populations are managed through clearing the land and making the environment healthier for everyone.

Comprehensive Land Clearing Services

In order to suit the client’s needs, King Land Clearing has provided several types of services. Our team operates with state of the art equipment as well as experienced personnel for both small and big projects including home lots, and commercial lots. Our comprehensive land clearing near Tarboro includes:

1. Tree Removal

Land clearing rarely goes without tree removal, as these are essential activities in a project. Regardless of the number of trees to be cut down or if you require an entire land to be cleared, we are well equipped to perform the job. We ensure that tree removal is well conducted and within the least probability extend the negative impact on the environment.

2. Brush Clearing

Bush can grow back rapidly and has the potential of invading a piece of property making it virtually useless. We provide the brush clearing services that clear large volumes of plants that make your project area accessible.

3. Stump Grinding and Removal

Once trees are cut, the stumps remain and they are normally a hindrance plus a security risk. We undertake the service of stump grinding and removal so as to have a flat area that can be developed or developed to meet the customers’ desired landscape designs.

4. Grading and Leveling

After clearing the vegetation, there is a need to grade and level the land so as to allow development of construction or planting. Our team takes measures to achieve a level surface that aligns to the requirements of your project.

State of NC Fast Charging: Winter 2021

It is that time of year where I look back on the growth of the open-charging network in North Carolina (this report does not cover brand exclusive infrastructure such as Rivian, Porsche, and Tesla). There are some changes this year, first and foremost, I am now an employee with ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. I do not have any insider knowledge regarding ChargePoint deployments in the state despite my employment with the company. All information relayed within is information gleaned from public sources or one-on-one conversations with the parties involved with the deployment. With that said, what has changed since the Winter 2020 report? Let’s find out!

Greenlots

Last I reported, QwickCharge out of Atlanta bought these old Greenlots assets and intended to slap a credit card reader on them and get them back in operation. To date, nothing has happened at any of these locations:

The Biltmore Ave Parking Deck

The Asheville Public Works station

Charlotte’s  AAA South End

Charlotte’s AAA on Flat River Dr.

Cherokee

Waynesville (personally tried to use this unit, while powered up it will not start a CCS session due to a proximity error)

Dallas

Salisbury

Matthews

Wadesboro

Greensboro

Hillsborough

Durham

Chapel Hill

Leland

Calabash

The only active Greenlots machines that I can find are all Level 2 systems, however, Duke Energy’s Plug&Charge pilot will use Greenlots as their management backend (the only site currently open is just over the border in SC at South of the Border). It’s entirely possible that in next year’s report there will be some Greenlots stations to report.

ChargePoint

ChargePoint’s footprint continues to grow the North Carolina Electric Member Cooperative’s Electric Vehicle Network using funds from the VW Diesel Emission Mitigation funding plan. The complete list of online locations:

2020 Machines Online: 18

2021 Machines Online: 34 (change: +16)

Machines to be built in 2022: 7

Locations that should be open by Winter 2022 report:

Waynesville: Unknown

Morganton 1: Unknown

Morganton 2: Unknown

Siler City: in the ground, not yet activated

Kinston: Unknown Status

New Bern: in the ground, not yet activated  125kW/62.5kW (2x Powershared CPE250)

Wilmington: Unknown

It is safe to assume that all new locations will either be a single 62.kW CPE250 or a pair of power-shared CPE250s that can provide up to 125kW to a single vehicle. ChargePoint now has two, and hopefully soon three, locations that have redundancy (meaning 2 or more stations at the location).

EVgo

EVgo has expanded their footprint and improved reliability in 2021:

2020 Machines Online: 23

2021 Machines Online: 30 (change: +7)

Greensboro Lowe’s Foods Jamestown 2x 100kW

Raleigh Lowe’s Foods Brier Creek 2x 100kW

EVgo listed Harrisburg as the award site under the Phase 1 VW Settlement funds, but it appears they built in South Charlotte instead. At least all three locations are online! EVgo’s new sites are all minimum 2 dispensers at twice the power level of their existing network footprint.

Electrify America

2020 Machines Online: 54

2021 Machines Online: 58 (change: +4)

Machines to be built in 2022: 0

Electrify America is the largest operator by a wide margin now: 58 dispensers across 12 sites. They’re no longer the only company with a redundant design - meaning more than one dispenser and more than one cable per machine. The open locations:

Raleigh: 6 (BTCPower)

Wake Forest: 3 (Signet)

Rocky Mount: 4 (Signet)

Henderson: 4 (Signet)

Greensboro: 8 (Signet)

Charlotte: 10 (ABB)

Asheville: 4 (Signet)

Hillsborough: 4 (ABB)

Cary: 3 (Signet)

Smithfield: 4 (Signet)

Lumberton: 4 (Signet)

Statesville: 4 (Signet)

Interstate Highway Coverage: I-95

Interstate 95 now has 7 DC fast charging locations with 18 dispensers. Starting at the North Carolina Welcome center:

13.6mi: Halifax, 2x ChargePoint 62.5kW to 125kW

7.4mi: Enfield, 1x ChargePoint 50kW

25.7mi: Rocky Mount, Electrify America 2x 150kW and 2x 350kW

18.8mi: Wilson,  2x ChargePoint 62.5kW to 125kW

27.3mi: Smithfield, Electrify America 2x 150kW and 2x 350kW

55.7mi: Hope Mills, 1x ChargePoint 62.5kW

21.1: Lumberton, Electrify America 2x 150kW and 2x 350kW

27.5: South of the Boarder, 2x 150kW Duke Plug & Charge

The single longest stretch between chargers is Smithfield and Hope Mills. If a single charger were to be installed between these locations, I-95 would qualify for Alternative Fuel Corridor signage from the Federal Government. I-95 needs to have billboard signage to promote these charging locations, this is a project I’ve been trying to engage Plug-in NC and The NC Clean Energy Technology Center into funding.

Interstate Highway Coverage: I-85

Interstate 85 now has 7 DC fast charging locations with 29 dispensers. Starting at the VA State Line:

29.7mi: Henderson, Electrify America 2x 150kW and 2x 350kW

48.2mi: Hillsborough, Electrify America 2x 150kW and 2x 250kW

11.6mi: Mebane, 1x ChargePoint 62.5kW

9.0mi: Graham, 1x ChargePoint 50kW

25.9mi: Greensboro, Electrify America 6x 150kW and 2x 350kW

33.9mi: Lexington, 1x ChargePoint 62.5kW

50.9mi: Charlotte, Electrify America 8x 150kW and 2x 350kW

44.3mi: SC Border

Interstate 85 technically qualifies for Alternative Fuel Corridor signage, being that 50.9 miles is the single longest stretch between charging stations. This doesn’t denote non-networked/dealership charging stations or any charging station below 50kW.

Interstate Highway Coverage: I-40

Interstate 40 now has 13 DC fast charging locations with 29 dispensers. Starting at the TN border:

41.1mi: Asheville, Electrify America 2x 150kW and 2x 350kW

6.7mi: Asheville, EVgo 2x 50kW

108mi: Statesville, Electrify America 2x 150kW and 2x 350kW

4mi: Statesville, ChargePoint 62.5kW

16.9mi: Mocksville, ChargePoint 62.5kW

45.1mi: Greensboro, EVgo 2x 100kW

11.4mi: Greensboro, Electrify America 4x 150kW 2x 350kW

26.8mi: Graham, ChargePoint 62.5kW

8.6mi: Mebane, ChargePoint 62.5kW

25.4mi: Durham, EVgo 50kW

11.4mi: Morrisville, EVgo 50kW

7.1mi: Raleigh, EVgo 50kW

3.9mi: Cary, Electrify America 3x 150kW

94.2mi: Wallace, ChargePoint 50kW

39.8mi: Wilmington (pending DC Fast charger)

Interstate 40 needs a lot of work! The 108-mile (106 if you go from Electrify America Asheville to Electrify America Statesville) stretch between Asheville and Statesville, and the stretch from Cary to Wallace need immediate attention. This corridor also has a lot of locations with a single charger, which is not sufficient for the number of EVs that Gov. Cooper is calling for (1.25M by 2030). There you have it folks! That’s the NC State of Charge for 2021! I’ll do the 2022 in a year - so stay tuned!

W Saint James Street, Tarboro, North Carolina.

[lboogie1906]

John Campbell Dancy, Jr. (May 8, 1857 - December 5, 1920) was born in Tarboro, North Carolina, and headed the Detroit Urban League through the tumultuous years of the Great Migration, Great Depression, and WWII. He was born into a prominent family in North Carolina who steered him to the north to obtain degrees from Phillips-Exeter Academy and the University of Pennsylvania. He returned south to become secretary of a segregated YMCA branch in Norfolk, Virginia. He began to realize the importance of recreation for urban African Americans excluded from public and private facilities. He worked as a probation officer in New York City where he became interested in the National Urban League. The League asked him to serve as the second director of the Detroit Urban League.

He sought to train and place talented African American workers in places of prominence in the city: as white-collar workers, teachers, and doctors. He pioneered recreational programs for Black migrants, who would be lured into disreputable commercial leisure. He opened a community center in the heart of the Black East Side that served as a baby clinic, job placement office, and cultural center. Working closely with prominent black ministers, he forged a relationship with the Ford Motor Company by placing qualified Black workers into factories.

African American activists were critical of his accommodationism to white employers. African American women were unable to break into white-collar labor beyond the few token jobs arranged by him. His close relationship with auto industry executives hampered the efforts of United Auto Workers organizers to appeal to Black auto workers. Detroit’s migrant generation found the Urban League an essential resource and a comforting presence. He led the Detroit Urban League for forty-two years, retiring in 1960. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
