8. Request for Approval of a Resolution in Support of Pratt Industries' Application
for Assistance from the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a Rail
Industrial Access Track and a Call for a Public Hearing on Tuesday, October 18, 2005, at
7:00 P.M. Regarding a Community Development Block Grant from the North Carolina
Department of Commerce: County Manager Mashburn said at the briefing session that Pratt
Industries was proposing a major expansion requiring a roadway and rail service. He said the
company planned to request a $675,000 CDBG grant from the NC Department of Commerce;
however, it would be necessary for the county to be the actual applicant. Mashburn said a local
match (25%) was needed, but the company's economic development incentive approved by the
county could be used. He requested approval of a resolution to be sent to the Department of
Transportation for rail assistance, and a call for a public hearing regarding the CDBG request
from the Department of Commerce.
