present; however, its director would not rule out the possibility of a financial request in
the future. Mashburn said that at the present, Centralina was requesting for the county
to appoint three individuals to serve on a CEDS panel.

The pros and cons for both projects were then discussed. Chairman Johnson said
the county could align with Centralina, but keep the options open for the Future
Forward project.
Commissioner Williams said it appeared the Future Forward goals might be a
little different from what Iredell County needed, since the project's emphasis seemed to
be geared towards the loss of furniture manufacturing jobs.
Commissioner Norman said the Future Forward project had progressed faster
than the CEDS project. He said the Future Forward planning stage had already been
accomplished.
OTIO by Commissioner Madison to accept the Centralina Council of
Government's invitation to (1) participate in the Regional Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS) (2) advertise the three panel positions that will
represent Iredell County in the CEDS initiative and during the interim period, while the
positions are unfilled, allow the county manager to serve and (3) hold in abeyance the
invitation to participate in the Future Forward Economic Alliance Project -- a
commitment will not be made at the present. However, this action shouldn't be
interpreted as a rejection of the Future Forward project.
