Before Revitalization (1984)

The three-acre tract of prime Neuse River waterfront property adjacent to Union Point Park, owned by the Texaco Corporation, housed a vacant gas station and unused bulk storage tanks.

After Revitalization (Today)

In the early '80's, Swiss Bear initiated and coordinated the donation of the Texaco property to the City. Following demolition of the station and tank farm, the site was annexed to expand Union Point Park. In the late '90's, Swiss Bear coordinated the Put Your Mark on the Park campaign raising $350,000 to assist the city with funding for major improvements to Union Point Park that included a new bulkhead, promenade, railing, and restrooms.
