As shown in the plans that are online, the unit count and overall arrangement is identical to what we last showed the Glenwood-Brooklyn neighborhood. There are a total of (8) units, including the existing house at the corner of Glenwood and Jefferson. Each unit has an individual front entry and porch facing the street. With the exception of the existing house, all parking is accommodated in basement garages under each unit and parking access is from the rear alley.

Progress Energy Carolinas Integrated vegetation management program
Project Timeline
Trimming of trees around power lines in the Five Points area is expected to continue through the end of this year.
Notification and Contact information
If your property will be affected, Progress Energy will place a door hanger on your front door with information about the tree trimming program. If you have concerns, call the number on the door hanger and arrange a meeting with a Progress Energy representative.
Key Points
- Trees are part of the natural beauty of the Carolinas, but trees and other vegetation are also one of the leading causes of outages in the Southeast. We must constantly work to balance aesthetic concerns with our responsibility to provide a reliable electric system for the 1.5 million households and businesses that depend on us.
- Progress Energy has obtained easements and agreements with local communities and property owners that allow it to build and maintain its power lines. This right includes managing vegetation, including trees that pose a threat to the reliability of the electric system (on or outside the easement).
- Maintaining trees and vegetation along distribution and transmission rights of way helps reduce outages and enhances safety for customers, as well as Progress Energy employees and contractors.
- Customers with questions or concerns about right-of-way or vegetation maintenance can contact a Progress Energy customer service representative by calling 1.800.452.2777.
