Building better in community
The Pappas Real Estate Development Program champions community building through placemaking by fostering student and professional growth in design-focused, STEM-integrated, real estate development education, engagement, and applied research.
What does the future of outdoor recreation look like for the Town of Edenton NC?
Our Pappas Program CORE (Creating Outdoor Recreation Economies) Research Team had the privilege of working alongside the Town of Edenton to envision the future of a 320-acre property directly adjacent to the town. By weaving together Edenton’s rich history, natural landscape, and future growth, we developed two master plan concepts that balance recreation with environmental conservation.
