REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL IN REFERENCE TO AN
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES PROGRAM (IDIP) FOR IREDELL
COUNTY: The county manager stated the contents of this proposal were similar to what was
being offered in neighboring counties. Both of the local economic development coordinators feel
that having something in writing would aid them. Commissioner Johnson asked if any counties
made a distinction between incentives for expansion or completely new locations. Mashburn said
he knew that Cabarrus and Catawba Counties did not have separate policies.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGE IN CAPITAL FUNDING FOR IREDELL-
STATESVILLE SCHOOL SYSTEM & MOORESVILLE GRADED SCHOOL SYSTEM:
Blumenstein said new information revealed that the final payment on the recent bonds would be
extended through one more year. Funding for debt service for only six months will be needed during
the current fiscal year. Blumenstein pointed out, however, the money had already been appropriated
to the schools. She advised the commissioners that they could ask for a spending plan from the
school systems and restrictions could be placed on the money.
Commissioner Johnson said he thought the money should go to growth. Commissioner
FoAner stated that some of the State bond money was for overcrowded conditions.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at 6:35 p.m., for a refreshment
break prior to the 7:00 p.m, meeting.
