NoMa News

Hello Neighbors & Friends ~

Here's hoping you all had a fantastic Halloween weekend! We hope you made it downtown to the Halloween Fun Fest. We know some of you made it to the Fulton Heights Neighborhood to join in their Halloween Festivities.

We have a few updates from around the neighborhood:

Newly Wed:

Please join us in congratulating Jenni and Brian Pfaff who married Halloween evening at their home on Henderson Street! Much Love from NOMA, Brian & Jenni! Jenni will be opening her new yarn shop, Tranqwool, very soon! We can't wait!

Newly Born:

Please join us in welcoming Hiram Newton Teeter, born to our neighbors Scott and Heather Hopkins Teeter of 11th Street. Welcome Hi!
And we also welcome Bromly Earnhart born to Keith & Carol Earnhart of Henderson Street. Welcome Bromly!
We are much delayed in welcoming Brice Schwalm, born to of Thomas & LoriAnn Schwalm of N. Main Street. YAY Brice!

Newly moved away:
We are sad to announce that one of our #1 volunteers, Jason Raymer, has moved away from NOMA. If you got a flyer in your doorway this spring, summer, or fall, chances are very good that Jason delivered it to you. Jason was probably the most diligent in hand delivering our flyers than anyone we've known. Good luck in your future, Jason!

Meeting with Downtown Salisbury Inc.:
We met with DSI last week for a most interesting meeting. While DSI cannot legally use their funds for improvements in NOMA (they are locked by strict boundaries limiting their work to a very specific downtown area), they are willing to express support for NOMA in such areas as the North Main Small Area Improvement Plan and other areas. They gave us some good ideas on how to proceed with our attempts to move this project the forefront with the City.

Election Day:
Salisbury's municipal election day is only 2 days away! Please make your plans to vote on November 3rd. Check with the Rowan County Board of Elections (www.co.rowan.nc.us/government/departments/boardofelections/) if you don't know if you are registered or where to vote. NOMA is in what is known as the North Ward. Our polling place is the City Park Recreation Center on Lake Road.

Next NOMA Meeting:
Our next neighborhood meeting is scheduled for Thursday November 12th at 7:00PM at Sue McHugh's home at 910 N. Main St. Watch your inboxes for an agenda.

See you all soon!

Welcome to NOMA!

The North Main Neighborhood, in the City of Salisbury North Carolina, is bounded by Lafayette Street at our most southern boundary, and 17th Street (the Town of Spencer town line) to the north; and between N. Jackson Street at our western boundary and the Southern Railway tracks to the east.

In the center of the NOMA, lies the North Main Historic District with homes that were constructed circa 1890 - 1938 along the trolley line that ran from Fulton Heights to the Spencer Shops.

Welcome to NOMA! We love it here! We know you will, too!

Preserving & Nurturing North Main Street Area's Most Beautiful Homes

One of the great benefits of local historic district designation in Salisbury is that the City provides grants to residential property owners to assist with the costs of exterior maintenance and repair. These grants are loans that do not have to be repaid and they’re typically used for projects such as painting, roofing and repair of original wood features. The maximum grant award is $2,500 and they’re usually expected to cover 50% or less of the overall project cost. Grants are awarded in the spring and fall as funding allows and they are prioritized to encourage applicants with low in comes. For more information, check out the brochure on the city’s website at: http://www.salisburync.gov/historic.html
