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. HABDC REPORT DAVID W.
