It served as the company’s administrative office for 17 years until the company’s new headquarters was completed in 1982 on Noell Lane just off of Hunter Hill Road.
“We’ve always believed in sharing with the community and theUnited Way had a need and we had a nice building – it’s a good combination,” said Mayo Boddie, Sr., Boddie-Noell’s chairman and co-founder, of the building’s donation to the United Way.
