and 5) process for historic landmark designation: Eastover

Dr. Morrill reported on the
status of the survey of historic sites in Pineville. He has
identified a UNCC student intern and is working to complete plans
with Pineville for undertaking the survey.
Dr. Morrill and Stewart
Gray reported on the status of the preservation study for the Union
Bus Terminal. It appears that the cost of saving the building might
be prohibitive in the opinion of Spectrum Properties. The Committee
directed Dr. Morrill to contact Spectrum Properties to have a
representative appear at the April 12th meeting of the Commission to
give an update.
