HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_0600Request from Carolina Beer & Beverage for a Utility Line Extension:
Economic Developer Melanie O'Connell Underwood said that in 1998, when Barley
Park was first being created, the owners had appeared before the board of
commissioners to ask for utility line extension assistance. She said the request was not
board to reconsider the matter in the
acted upon; however, it was the consensus of the
future if a collective investment of $3 million occurred. (Underwood said a $3 million
capital investment was the county's minimum monetary requirement for participation in
the industrial development incentives program, and this was the reason for no action in
1998.) She said that even though the county did not provide financial assistance, the
Town of Mooresville in 1998 approved a $50,000 utility grant (over five years).
Underwood said that as Mr. Gray (site consultant) previously mentioned, the park's real
and personal property investment at the present time was $8,313,251.00, which was
well over the $3 million.
OTIO by Commissioner Johnson to grant Carolina Beer and Beverage a
$50,000 utility line extension reimbursement (spread out over five years) for Barley Park
as was described by Mrs. Underwood.

Presentation from the Planning Department Regarding the U.S. Census
Bureau's American Community Survey: Planning Supervisor Warren said the U.S.
Census would be using a different method in the future to provide demographic data.
He said each year the planning department presented a demographic report, but
unfortunately, some of the statistics had to be based on decennial information. Warren
said the new census would be prepared using a survey that would replace the "long
form." He said beginning this summer, communities having populations of 60,000+
would be receiving data on an annual basis. Mr. Warren said the annual reports would
provide much more accurate and reliable material. He said the newer data would also
aid the federal government in determining the communities eligible for grant funding.

Request for a Decision Regarding the James B. Hoffner Family's Request of
February 1, 2005 Regarding the Release of Property to Rowan County. County
Manager Mashburn summarized a memo that had previously been sent to the Iredell
County Board of Commissioners describing the Hoffner family's request. The memo,
for the most part, is as follows:
.. representatives of the Hoffner family appeared before the board of
commissioners and requested that the board work with the Rowan County Board of
Commissioners to try to work out a realignment of the Iredell(Rowan Counties line so
that the Hoffner property would be moved back into Rowan County, as it was thought to
be before resurveying and tax alignment was done.
