Item 15.
HABDC QUARTERLY The following report of the Harnett Agri- Business Development
REPORT Commission was submitted by the Director, David W. Alexander:
HARNETT AGRI- BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
FY 69 THIRD QUARTER REPORT
January 1 To March 31, 1969
TO: THE CHAIRMAN, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
I. GENERAL
Prospects' inquiries continue to be higher than
usual in spite of the high interest rate which has recently
reached a forty year high. This together with spiraling
inflation (more than 5% per year) must have an adverse
affect on industrial development.
II. TRAINING
Nine courses under the Manpower Development Training
Act have been requested for FY 70. They are:
1. Electrician 7. Bricklayer
2. Plumber 8. Mobile Home Repairman
3. Stenographer 9. Carpenter
4. Maintenance Man, Building
5. House -hold Appliance Repairman
6. Farm Equipment Mechanic
It is hoped that we will obtain at least six (6)
of these courses.
III. NEW INDUSTRY
During the month of January Champion Home Builders
of Dryden, Michigan decided upon Lillington for the establish-
ment of a new plant. This plant will be 70,000 square feet,
employing approximately seventy (70) persons. Starting date
has been established as June 69.
IV. OUTLOOK
Industrial construction will be slowed because of the
actions of the Federal Government. This slowing down of
the economy is necessary in arresting the inflationary spiral
and bringing about a slower rate of expansion. In the long run
the programs will be beneficial to the industrial and economic
growth of the country. The slow down will probably reach its
peak in August or September of 1969.
