IREDELL INDUSTRIAL TRAINING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the North Carolina Department of Commerce and other agencies frequently report
that a major obstacle to industrial recruitment in North Carolina is the lack of an adequately -trained work
force; and
WHEREAS, securing the location of new industry to a County is important, in that it contributes
to the tax base, thereby allowing a higher level of service to the people at affordable prices, offers jobs
to our citizens, supports our local charities, and enriches the lives of our citizens and communities in
numerous other ways; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County is committed to the concept of
improving the lifestyle of our citizens, enhancing the quality of life, delivering services to the people at
the most affordable prices, providing jobs for our citizens, and educating and training our people; and
WHEREAS, we have been reliably informed and therefore believe that the formation of an
industrial training program for the citizens of Iredell County is an initiative that will result in a substantial
number of our citizens receiving education and training, which will assist them throughout their lives and
result in their being better informed, better trained, more productive and higher earning citizens; and
WHEREAS, we have conferred with officials from Mitchell Community College, our industrial
recruiters, and others and, based upon their recommendations, have developed a plan for a training
program which will supplement and enhance the new industry training program now used by the
Department of Commerce, and which we believe will accomplish the dual purposes of training and
educating our citizens, and recruiting new industry to our County;
NOW, THEREFORE, WE RESOLVE:
1. There is hereby created an Industrial Training and Education Program to be operated by
Mitchell Community College to be known as "The Iredell Industrial Training Program."
2. There is hereby appropriated to The Iredell Industrial Training Program the sum of One
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) per year for each of the next five fiscal years. Except
that for the year 1997-1998, there is appropriated the sum of $250,000.
