Work is continuing on the "43 connector" in New Bern...The last girder for this bridge/overpass at Hwy 70 east was set the night of June 3, 2008. This project has a projected cost of 38 million dollars. When complete this roadway will make access to Bosch and other businesses in this area easier. In addition travelers on NC 43 will have access to a four lane roadway quicker and easier. 
Craven Regional Medical Center is our hospital. It has approx. 313 beds for patients that need medical attention requiring hospitalization.
CRMC is undergoing an expansion program to provide even better services for the public. Construction is underway to add one floor to the older main building and 2 floors to the newer section on the right of the building.
After all the renovations are complete in the Fall of 2009 a net gain of 37 beds is expected. This will bring the new capacity to about 350 beds. In addition all Med/Surg rooms will be private.
This expansion is extimated to cost about 22 million dollars and work is ongoing.
The new wings will add 20 beds for Cardiovascular Intermediate Care, 20 beds for Med/Surg and 20 beds for Orthopedics with handicap access.
Craven Regional is a major area employer with approxomately 1800 employees providing superior medical care to the citizens of eastern NC.
I recently visited Union Point Park and quickly decided that things are getting "pretty duckie"!
It's Spring and mother nature is hard a work. Love is in the air, in the water and even in the park.
It alway fun to watch the "wildlife" at the park and look over the Neuse River winding it's way to the ocean via the Pamlico Sound. I alway leave with a better spirit and appreciation of living in New Bern. We're lucky to be able to look out over the river. With the sun coming up over the horizon, viewing the wonders we often take for granted brings me back around every time.
Last year we had a Mallard family nest behind our real estate office. It was a real show stopper when they followed "MAMA DUCK" to the river....PAUSE., RELAX and ENJOY!
Visit your park soon and kick back, it's time well spent.
I was looking at some information I got from Cherry Point today and was amazed at the economic impact Cherry Point has on North Carolina.
According to the Command Analysis and Review Office documents Jan. 2008 the estimated fiscal year 2008 impact is a whopping $1,456,094,487 benefit to the NC economy.
An estimated 5,000 civilian employees work on base making it the areas largest employer.
The top five local contractors utilized by Cherry Point in fiscal 2007 recieved contracts totaling $22,997,555.00
Cherry Point contributes alot to our area that can't be express in dollars, I will discuss that in another post.
Thanks to our Marines..
Remember May is National Military Appreciation Month.

Hey Homer, Just wanted to say thank you very much for all that you did for us!! Not only did you do your job, but I can say that you went beyond your duties to help us. We are enjoying (loving it) our new house. I still don't think it has hit reality that we own this house and we live in the neighborhood that we always wanted to live! I never thought it would even be possible to live in Carolina Pines! That it was a far away dream! But thanks to HOMER RAY, our dream came true! K & A Butzer Sept. 2009
Homer is a great individual who takes other peoples feelings and interests into consideration before his! He is very hard working and caring! He does what is not only expected from a buyers agent, but Homer also goes above and beyond just to make sure his clients are satisfied. My family and I could not thank Homer enough for helping us through one of the toughest decisions of our life. We as a Marine Corps family say "OORAH" Homer, Thank you! T. and K. Wells May 2009

Dear Homer: We would like to thank you for the many hours of hard work you put into selling our property....Thank you for getting us the real value of our house. Feel free to use us as a reference anytime. Your honesty is one of your greatest strenghts. J.& F. Mears January 2008

I work extensively in Craven County, North Carolina including New Bern, Havelock, the MCAS Cherry Point area, River Bend, Brices Creek, James City, Carolina Pines. I like the area known as the US 70 east Corridor and dedicate alot of time in order to stay informed of what is happening in that rapidly growing area. I also work in Pamlico, Jones and Carteret counties when a client needs my services.
I proudly have the honor of serving the personnel at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and their families with housing and relocation services. Check out my web-site www.cherrypointrelocation.com for information about the eastern N.C. real estate market.
Thanks to the efforts of our Armed Forces every where, civilians like me can live a pretty normal life.
Living here in New Bern since 1983 makes me very familiar with the area. This helps me help you. Let's talk soon!
