New Town Campus

Waxhaw’s new Town Campus is making headway, as construction progress remains continuous and steady at the 17-acre site. Construction of the new government services hub started mid-November 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2024. Once completed, the complex will include facilities for Public Services, Parks and Recreation and Town Hall. The new Town Hall will be approximately 4 times larger than the current building and allow plenty of space for town staff and operations to grow as needed. Located at 4220 Waxhaw-Marvin Road (the intersection of Waxhaw-Marvin Road and Kensington Road), the campus will provide convenient access to services for residents and operations. The property also connects Town Creek Park to Nesbit Park opening up more park and recreational opportunities once the campus is built.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

As the region grows, Waxhaw is faced with increasing challenges to preserve the Town's unique charm, while serving the expanding needs of its residents and businesses. The Waxhaw 2040 Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document that will guide the towns future, providing policy and direction related to future growth and redevelopment, transportation, housing, town services, and other important aspects of the community. The Plan informs current and future decision-makers about where we’ve been, where we are today, where we want to go, and how we intend to get there. Based on public input, sound recommendations from previously adopted Waxhaw plans, data from the 2020 US Census, and an analysis of present and future needs, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan sets forth a vision with supporting goals and strategies intended to guide the town’s physical, social, and economic development. The Plan was carefully developed over the course of a year. Waxhaw 2040 includes eight elements that touch on a wide-ranging set of community needs, including: • Utilities & Services • Business & Employment • Housing & Neighborhoods • Cultural & Recreational Life • Environment & Open Space • Transportation: Vehicular • Transportation: Non-Vehicular • Land Use View the Waxhaw 2040 Comprehensive Plan online: www.waxhaw.com/our-town/ waxhaw-comp-plan-2040

Water Tower This iconic 49,000 stainless-steel structure looms over the downtown area with it’s close proximity to the intersection of Hwy 75 and Hwy 16 and the railroad tracks that run through the center of town. The tank was built in 1940 and was the town’s water supply for many years until new ground water tanks were built. Now, many fun-filled events take place throughout the year under the water tower at Community Corner. It’s one of the most recognizable monuments of downtown Waxhaw. 116 McDonald Street | Waxhaw, NC 28173

R.J. Belk Building das Located directly across from the Pedestrian Bridge, this historic building was home of the Belk store from 1894 to 1938.

Currently, the Waxhaw Woman’s Club rents the building for community events, private parties, and special occasions. 200 E. South Main Street | Waxhaw, NC 28173 https://waxhawwomansclub.org 10

Community Well and Jug

Duncan McDonald House

The well was originally dug circa 1900 to serve the trains and crews of the depot and remained in use until the 1920’s. The current well replica, built in 1989, commemorates Waxhaw’s original community well which once stood near this spot. The large clay urn was originally used at the Rodman-Heath Mill. The 1899 mill was the town’s leading employer and played a vital role in the town’s economy for many years. In the mid1980’s the jug was moved from the mill to the location of the current Dare Steele Memorial Garden. Around 2003 it was moved to its current downtown location near the well.

The Duncan McDonald House was built by Waxhaw's first postmaster in 1888 and now acts as a characteristic recreation venue. It is considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest, house in Waxhaw. At one time the town’s early switchboard was operated from this house. From senior citizen programming to events welcome center to historical showcase to rentable meeting space, this is a great place to visit! 115 N. McDonald Street | Waxhaw, NC 28173

Pedestrian Bridge das Sometimes a bridge is more than just a way to get from Point A to Point B. It can be a landmark like the pedestrian bridge located in the heart of downtown. This town icon was built in 1888 when the railroad company built a rail line to Atlanta. The original bridge was used for vehicle traffic up until 1941 when converted for pedestrian traffic only.The bridge was heavily reconstructed in 2008 in coordination with the Town of Waxhaw and CSX Transportation. Today, many people, young and old, climb the stairs to the top so they can stand on the wooden planks of the bridge and watch as a train passes under their feet.

FULL OF HISTORY The history of Waxhaw is one that began with an Indian tribe that once inhabitated this area. Waxhaw takes its name from both the name for the area and the name for the Indian tribe that once inhabited it. The community dates back to the 1700’s. This area was home to the Waxhaw Indians long before the European settlers came to the area. They were connected with the neighboring Sugeree, and both were apparently related to the Catawba, and therefore were Siouan. The Waxhaw tribe, often referred to as the “flat heads” were known to strap cradle boards to their childrens heads and attach weights to it. They believed this would make the children’s eyes grow father apart and would give them an advantage of seeing farther distances when hunting animals. The Waxhaw Indians were allied with the Catawbas in their wars with the Cherokee and were almost wiped out in 1715 by the Yamasee War and by diseases brought by the early settlers to the area. Soon afterwards German, English, Scottish, Welsh and other European settlers arrived in the area to establish a settlement. The land was fertile and trade was made easy by the proximity of the Catawba River and the main trading path

The most noteworthy native of the Waxhaw area is Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the United States. President Andrew Jackson was born in the Waxhaw area in 1767.

Flathead Indians, 1861. by George Catlin

which ran from Petersburg, Virginia to Augusta, Georgia. The Town of Waxhaw was chartered in 1889, making it the third oldest town in Union County. Even though Waxhaw is one of the oldest communities in Union County it wasn't well known until 1888 when railroad tracks from Atlanta were laid. It was clear that this area needed a dependable means of overland transportation. It was increasingly difficult to deliver and receive goods to and from the supply centers in the south. Railroad tracks still run through the center of town today along the green, grassy strip dividing two rows of quaint specialty shops and restaurants.

An ongoing dispute centers on whether Jackson was born in North Carolina or just to the south in South Carolina. He was born in one of two cabins, less than 100 yards apart - but because the state line ran between them, it’s unknown which state he was actually born in. He lived in North Carolina until the age of 21 when he moved west to Tennessee. Waxhaw is home to two area attractions where you can learn more about Andrew Jackson. One is the Museum of the Waxhaws, which is dedicated to the history of the Waxhaws region and the memory of our nation’s 7th President. The other is the Andrew Jackson State Park, which is located in nearby Lancaster, SC. The parks museum features exhibits about Andrew Jackson’s boyhood in the Waxhaw region. Today, Waxhaw is a vibrant community that has progressed from those humble beginnings. It has come a long way from it’s early roots as indian land and still takes the time to proudly remember its past.

reasons to use a travel agent

There have been 40 gold mines in Union County since the county was formed in 1842. In the early years, area farm laborers and tenant farmers would work in the mines during the farming off-season.

With availability of the internet and online booking sites like Expedia and Travelocity, many travelers wonder if travel agents are a thing of the past. While the internet has made researching destinations and booking a trip easier and more accessible than ever, the abundance of options can overwhelm even the savviest of travelers. Booking your trip with a travel agent offers significant benefits that booking sites can’t provide – expert guidance, the human touch, personalized plans, assistance when things go wrong, and insight to unique deals and travel opportunities. .There is so much that an agent can do for you. You often don’t pay any more for using an agent because most travel agents get referral fees or commissions for booking your trip. Here are some of the many benefits of using a travel agent: 1. Knowledge And Experience Travel agents have access to insider knowledge about the travel industry, expertise in planning complex itineraries, the latest trends, and recommendations for some off-thebeaten-path experiences. Agents often know the best days and times to travel as well as how early you should book to save the most. Additionally, they can make recommendations based on their experiences and feedback from clients who have traveled to similar destinations. 3. Cost Saver With their accreditations, expertise, and connections within the industry, travel agents have access to exclusive deals, discounts, and promotions unavailable online. Agents can often obtain special rates on flights, hotels, and cruises that are not publicly advertised. 2. Save Time Finding the best deal for every aspect of a trip can be exhausting and time-consuming if you’re not a pro. Instead of spending hours scouring the internet for the cheapest flights or hotel rooms, a travel agent can quickly provide you with multiple options, types of travel that fit your budget, and itineraries. 4. Personalized Service With a travel agent, you’ll have access to someone who understands your needs and can help answer your questions. Agents who offer personalized service take the time to get to know their clients and craft itineraries that cater to their needs. 5. Assistance With Emergencies When something goes wrong on a vacation, like missed connections or lost documents, a travel agent can help you recover quickly. Using a travel agent can give you expert advice and quick assistance in rebooking flights or accommodations. Your travels are one of your most important investments of time, money, and life experience. Let a travel agent focus on logistics so you can just enjoy the journey.

Southwest Regional Library

The new Southwest Regional Library is located at 1515 Cuthbertson Road, Waxhaw, NC 28173 A new state-of-the-art library will soon be opening it’s doors to the people in the southwest region of Union County. It will feature a children’s storytime area, programming space, reading nooks, teen space, STEAM lab, community rooms and meeting spaces, and an outdoor reflection area. According to the Union County Library Foundation (UCLF), the new, innovative library will go beyond books and digital content – it will be a place to discover, to grow, and to gather. A place that establishes a common ground where

people of all ages, ethnicities, and socioeconomic means embrace the joys of learning and discovering new worlds. A place where people can find the resources and the support they need to succeed. The long-awaited 19,000 sq. ft. facility, located near Cuthbertson Middle School and Cuthbertson High School, will incorporate the Waxhaw Library and expand access to services in one of the most rapidly growing regions of North Carolina. In 2016, voters approved a $10 million

bond for the construction of the new library. The Union County (NC) Library Foundation, Inc., a capital fundraising support group for Union County Libraries, launched a Capital Campaign to raise $1.5 million. The money raised by the Foundation is being used for interior furnishings, interior and exterior programming spaces, and enhancing the basic print and nonprint collections, making this library an exceptional place of learning and opportunity for the community. The new Southwest Regional Library is scheduled to open early 2024.

Fear Free Animal Hospital Design [ Dr. Susan Bonilla, MS, CVA, CCRP, CACP ]

You may have heard the term Fear Free from a friend or seen it advertised. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Marty Becker, it comprises a group of different veterinarian professionals and pet experts gathered together for the single purpose of preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the veterinary professionals and people who care for them. Since its inception, more than 55,000 professionals have become Fear Free Certified and more than 84,000 professionals have registered for the various Fear Free veterinary and pet professional programs. In 2019, Passionate Paws Animal Hospital proudly joined an elite group of practices to attain the honored distinction of becoming a Fear Free Certified Practice. This certification means that all our doctors and team members on staff, including our groomers, are all individually trained as Fear Free professionals. Being Fear Free certified validates much of what we have already practiced since opening over four years ago. Fear Free certified practices will have successfully implemented Fear Free into all aspects of their business: culture and leadership, client education, staff training, the facility, and most importantly, patient visits. My husband and I built our hospital for pet parents because we are pet parents and so is everyone on our team. We set out to create a unique experience for both pets and pet parents that put your furbaby at the center, promoted and delivered a Fear Free experience, provided integrative pet healthcare, and partnered with you as the primary caregiver in developing customized treatment plans. When we started our design, we knew nothing of the Fear Free program, we just knew there had to be a better experience for pets and pet parents than the traditional vet visit so many of us have experienced in the past. A visit to the vet should be pleasant and fun, not stressful and fearful. In order to do this we completely reinvented the look, feel, and even smell that has long been associated with a typical animal hospital. But, we didn’t stop at design. We also reexamined our approach to patient care and pet parent service to ensure a calm, pleasant, and fun experience for pets and pet parents alike. At Passionate Paws, we strive to make every patient visit a Fear Free experience as every team member wants your pet to be happy when he or she walks through the door of our animal hospital. Free Free doesn’t mean that your pet will never experience anything uncomfortable at our hospital—he or she may be injured or ill, after allbut it does mean that we make every effort to reduce any fear, anxiety, and stress related to examinations, procedures, and grooming. Here are a few of the ways we help your pet stay comfortable and relaxed from arrival to departure. When you first arrive at our hospital your senses and your pet’s will be greeted with pleasing smells from our aromatherapy diffuser, designed to calm and relieve anxiety. No hospital should smell like an animal hospital, and ours never does. To ease our patients even more, we have designed our waiting area to be species specific, with cats and dogs on opposite sides. Taking it one step further, we built a cat-only exam room (no dogs allowed) to provide an added layer of calmness for our feline friends. For those dogs that are a bit more nervous, we can bring you right away into our side door that leads directly into an exam room. For our anxious cats, we can bring them directly into the cat-only exam room upon arrival. Upon entering the exam room, you and your pet will notice that performing exams on a cold, slick table are a thing of the past. For our

dog patients, we provide comfortable bedding on the floor, where our medical team conducts the majority of their examinations and procedures. For our cat patients, we offer a cat tree as well as warm bedding to perform the majority of the examinations and procedures. Each room is equipped with natural pheromone diffusers that emit calming substances into the air that are specific to dogs and cats, and play species-specific music bioacoustically engineered to calm your pet (and maybe even you.) These examples and more await each and everyone of our patients and pet parents at Passionate Paws, providing a very unique one-of-a-kind experience. Our hospital becoming a Fear Free Certified Practice is just the natural progression from what my husband and I envisioned from the start. We are so excited to continue to improve the experience for our existing pets and pet parents and for those that are still to come.

Dr. Susan Bonilla is the owner of the award-winning Passionate Paws Animal Hospital in Waxhaw and our new location in Matthews/Weddington, offering traditional and complementary treatment options such as acupuncture, chiropractic, and physical therapy. Full-service grooming is also available at Waxhaw. You can reach her at 704-256-7576 or e-mail at Hello@PassionatePaws.Vet
