This is the 50th anniversary of Richmond Technical Institute. I will be adding items more items as my time permits. This is interesting about the site selection for RTI.

I hope you're able to post stuff documenting how the switch was made from R.W. Goodman's property, which was the location selected for RTI in the first newspaper stories, to where the community college was actually built in Hamlet.
Got no clue. But we know from what was posted that RTI was originally planned to be built in Rockingham. It wasn't. So the story of the why and how of the change is obviously important local history.
