Margarettsville Baptist Church 1 This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. A sign in the churchyard gives the date of establishment as 1888. A church was erected around this time, which was destroyed in 1932 by a tornado. Strong Gothic Revival elements, such as the arched lancet windows, are present in the current building. The frame structure is essentially a front gable one with adherence to symmetry. A possible addition is the gabled element at the rear of the building. A double leaf wooden door flanked by pointed arched windows leads into the entry. Above this is an interesting roof of two sections with an opening between those two parts. A feature such as this surely has a special name, but I was unable to find it. Topping the entrance is a square tower with louvers, which is surmounted by a "Celtic cross." The flowers in the last image in this album were located on either side of the stone steps leading to the front doors. As usual I have no idea what flowers these are. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow"></a>This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License</a>

20230522-USDA-RD-NC-LSC-0216 Aerial view of the Roanoke Sanitary wastewater treatment facility and surrounding area in Halifax County., NC, on May 22, 2023. Upper Coastal Plains Council of Governments (COG) identified Lake Gaston, a few miles away as an asset due to its shoreline and crucial road ingress and egress. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Rural Partners Network (RPN) is working with the COG to utilize a SMART project approach, which includes involvement in building on each region's competitive advantage and leveraging the marketplace to establish and maintain a robust regional infrastructure. The county needs to handle projected wastewater outflow to further enhance the area's real estate marketplace. In response, agreements in principle for wastewater treatment have been secured with the Roanoke Sanitary District in Halifax County. The next challenge is a system to transport outflow to the wastewater facility. - - - - - - - - - - - Northampton and Halifax Counties are members of the Upper Coastal Plains Council of Governments (COG), which follows the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Rural Development (RD), Rural Partners Network (RPN) SMART project approach. This approach has four key strategies, namely: 1. Building on each region's competitive advantage and leveraging the marketplace 2. Establishing and maintaining a robust regional infrastructure 3. Creating revitalized, healthy, and resilient communities 4. Developing talented and innovative people. RPN The Rural Partners Network (RPN) is a government program designed to assist rural communities in finding resources and funding to create jobs, construct infrastructure, and support long-term economic stability on their own terms. The RPN comprises federal agencies and commissions that work directly with rural communities to enhance rural prosperity through job creation, infrastructure development, and community improvement. Led by USDA Rural Development, RPN members collaborate to identify resources to help rural people build the futures they envision for the unique places they call home. RPN places federal staff on the ground in selected RPN Community Networks across the United States. RPN Liaisons work with small, rural communities to listen to their needs and understand the importance of the various funders and assistance providers to leverage their programs and resources and collaborate to achieve the communities' goals. Liaisons assist local people in navigating programs, building relationships, and identifying community-driven solutions. Participating RPN agencies and offices (rural.gov/about#block-views-block-partners-partners-listing) are also joining forces to promote rural priorities as federal programs and policies are developed to address funding gaps, increase access to technical assistance, and ensure equitable access to federal funding.

Garysburg United Methodist Church 1 [7 photos in this album] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. Located in Garysburg, Northampton County, North Carolina, the Garysburg United Methodist Church and Cemetery is in a quiet, attractive location, set back a distance from the street. The serenity is amplified by the shade trees to the rear and east side of the building. Church tradition dates the church from 1853, but the National Register plaque gives the construction date as 1849. The U. S. Geological Survey map (Weldon, NC, 1974) gives the name as Chapel Grove Church. It appears on Flickr's map with this name. Stylistically the rectangular structure is a Greek Revival temple form, built on 18th century patterns of New England churches. This form appears on numerous Christmas cards and has come to typify the house of worship at Christmas time. The church in Garysburg replaced Moore’s Chapel (Moore's Meeting House) between Garysburg and the county seat of Jackson. Land for the building was given by Roderick B. Gary, a prominent Garysburg citizen who served 13 terms in the North Carolina General Assembly. His gift was unusual, for he was not a member of the congregation. "Footprints in Northampton" states the building in 1862 served as a hospital during the Civil War. In 1905 the church underwent many changes: slave galleries were removed and it's thought the steeple was added then. In addition, a coffered patterned was installed in the interior. More repairs were instituted in 1949 and also in 1954 after damage caused by Hurricane Hazel. The stained-glass windows date from the 1954 repairs when they replaced clear-paned windows. The weatherboarded 1-story church has a front pedimented gable and a prominent bell tower with a louvered bell area built on a weatherboard base; the tower is capped by a shingled spire with flared eaves. Topping the spire is a wooden cross. The main entrance is in a vestibule which projects from the front gable. The vestibule roof is also a gable with returns. An ornamental sawnwork is prominent above the pointed arch entry which consists of a double-leaf door and a stained-glass window above. Here also is found the National Register plaque. The windows as noted earlier were changed to stained glass with Gothic pointed arches. Cornerposts are understated with simple narrow pilasters with molded capitals. The Garysburg United Methodist Church and Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 20, 1985 with identifying number 85001350. The descriptive nomination form is online at <a href="https://files.nc.gov/ncdcr/nr/NP0008.pdf" rel="noreferrer nofollow">files.nc.gov/ncdcr/nr/NP0008.pdf</a> Additional information is found in the bicentennial volume Footprints in Northampton: 1741-1776-1976 issued by the Northampton County Bicentennial Committee in 1976. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow"></a>This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License</a>.

20230523-USDA-RD-NC-LSC-0741 Aerial view of Halifax Community College, Industrial Systems Technology Program, Department Head Jason Bowen discusses the importance of automated systems maintainers in the manufacturing industry in Weldon, NC, on May 23, 2023. The Advanced Manufacturing industry is considered a highly sought-after field in the region and throughout the state. Workforce skills such as working with diagnostic computer systems, programmable logic controllers, and a multimeter are highly desirable in this region. In an industry that increasingly depends on robotic systems, downtime is costly, and skilled technicians are essential to ensure that rural people thrive in rural America.
