ICASARRI S COUN <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />May Meeting <br /> <br />To~ <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />May 11,2001 <br /> <br />Kannapolis Train Station Project <br /> <br />Attached is information related to the construction of a new Amtra~ station in Kannapolis. I have <br />personally discussed the issue with Kannapolis City Council members and indicated that I thought <br />the County could and would support the project. <br /> <br />The new Amtrak station will be beneficial to Cabarms County residents; it could benefit tourism; <br />and, it certainly is of viable benefit to further industrial development. <br /> <br />It is my recommendation that the Board of Commissioners use $60,000 from its contingency funds <br />toward the project. You. may choose to fund $30,000 each of two years, or $60,000 from FY 2001 <br />or FY 2002. <br /> <br />Since the project will span two budget years, I would recommend that the Board approve $30,000 <br />from Board contingency funds in FY 2001 and 2002 be directed toward the project. <br /> <br />Note: Along with the 'cannon Foundation's $75,000, the County's $60,000 funds $135,000 of the <br />$240,000 local match. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />FWC/dpl <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />cc: David Hales, City Manager, Kannapolis <br /> <br /> ~': ~ ~ ;2-? ~'~ ;'~' I2~' ,i~*~ ~'~ -' <br /> <br /> <br />
