development programs.
Norman said that if the county participated in both programs (CEDS & Future
Forward) it could apply for funding from both.
Mashburn said the county was invited to participate in CEDS due to being a
member of the Centralina Council of Governments. He said the county had been
invited to participate in Future Forward due to being in the same congressional district
as the members of the Western Piedmont Council of Governments.
Commissioner Madison said the $6,518 for Future Forward was not budgeted.
He said unemployment was greater in the western part of the state, and that area would
probably be deemed the worst when the prioritizing of funds occurred. Madison said,
however, that Iredell was a "small fish in a big pond" when looking at the chances of
economic funding from Centralina's CEDS program.
Commissioner Tice asked if the county could join next year.
Norman said Future Forward would like for the county to join now, but it could
become a member next year.
Chairman Johnson mentioned that if the county waited until the federal money
was distributed to Future Forward, its board members would probably not want any new
members.
OTIO by Commissioner Norman to approve the Future Forward invoice in
the amount of 56,518 and for the funds to be derived from contingency.
