Stuck in Limbo: Beltway inaction stymies local property owners

(By Wesley Young, Winston-Salem Journal) - A.C. Reynolds Jr. wants to either expand the business on University Parkway that his family has had for more than 50 years or sell it.

But like many other property owners in the path of the planned Northern Beltway, he can do neither.

Stalled by legal action and lack of money, state officials aren't even able to help "hardship" cases, such as Reynolds, by buying their properties.
