On November 16, 2021, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the conveyance of the shirt factory property to the Kinston Community Health Center (KCHC) to construct a new medical facility. Since that time, KCHC has been conducting pre-development in preparation for the new medical facility, which includes financial planning, engaging lending partners, and architectural planning. 

Once complete, this $20 million health center will result in expanded services, as well as an expected 41 new jobs and a 3,000-person increase in the number of patients served by KCHC annually.
