Message from the CFR 2017 President Neal Johnson
Fellow Realtors®,
The community has been discussing the issue of
GenX since it was discovered in the Cape Fear River due to discharges by Chemours/Dupont from a chemical manufacturing plant it operates in Fayetteville. The compound has been found in the 80-mile stretch of the river between the plant and Wilmington.
GenX is a key ingredient in Teflon, used in commercial manufacturing.
I am just as concerned as you all are about the recent reports about GenX in the Cape Fear River and our drinking water. Water is the single, most critical asset for a community. Life does not exist without water, that is clean water. It is a resource that we must protect to maintain the high quality of life in the region.
I am very concerned about the GenX water news, but we all need to slow down and learn the facts before rushing to judgment. I encourage you all to attend the GenX Forum this
Wednesday, June 28th at 7pm-9m at the UNCW Kenan Auditorium.

Workforce housing focuses on expanding housing opportunities for America's working families. In many communities, the people that provide vital services-teachers, firefighters, police officers, and laundry and restaurant workers-often cannot themselves afford to live there. Additionally, as home costs continue to outpace wages, many families can no longer afford homes near their workplaces while many local communities lack homes affordable to local workers. learn more>>
