barrels of diesel fuel each year. Pope said the IdleAire project would "dramatically" cut down on
pollution, and several cities had awarded grants to the company for this reason. He said a
nonprofit organization in Colorado had agreed to issue bonds and lend the proceeds to the
company. Pope said 28 states had been chosen for the project and two sites were in North
Carolina with one being at 306 Stamey Farm Road in Iredell County. He said the Internal
Revenue Code required a public hearing in each county where the bonds were to be used. Pope
said the bonds would not, however, be issued by the county or the state of North Carolina. He
stressed that (1) Iredell County was not pledging any of its authority (2) Iredell County was not
authorizing or ratifying the bonds, and (3) the bond issuance would not constitute a debt or
indebtedness for the county or state of North Carolina.
