Hi Amanda! Do you know what company will be managing the new Hampton Inn at ValleyView? Or could I possibly get any contact info for Charlie Byers to see if he knows? Thanks!

@Shelly: I’m back with an answer to your question about 5610 Williamson Road. The old restaurant (King Buffet) was demolished. The new building is for MedExpress, an urgent care center, which should be opening soon.

@Shelly: I will have to call the county on Monday to see what they can tell me. Have you seen work going on there?

Do you know what is going in at 5610 Williamson Road? It used to be an empty restaurant for a long time. Thanks!

@dennis: I talked with Charlie Byers, who works for the development company building the hotel. He said that they salvaged what they could. For instance, the equipment was sold to a local restaurant equipment supplier. They didn’t salvage any building materials, though. Those went to the landfill.

@Mike3: The new building you saw in Rocky Mount next to Sheetz is for Cook Out. The woman I spoke with in the town’s planning and zoning department told me it might be open by Christmas.

Southern Manor Residential and Assisted Living on Williamson Road (across from 7-Eleven) was torn down in 2010 to make room for a Dollar General store. But according to a building permit filed earlier this year, it will now be a Dollar Tree.

@dennis: I believe I saw a lot of that stuff being hauled out before the buildings were torn down. But to be sure, I can ask the developer what they are doing with the materials and get back to you.
