CABARRUS <br /> <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />October 12, 1999 <br /> <br />Cabarrus Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />Maurice D. Ewing, President <br />Cabarrus Economic DeYelopmeTff~ <br />Southeastern Packaging <br /> <br />Resolution for Southeastern Packaging <br />Industrial Rail Grant Application <br /> <br />On behalf of Southeastern Packaging I am pleased to report that the announced $11 million <br />expansion of their existing manufacturing facility in Harrisburg has grown into a $22 million <br />new facility across Mulberry Road from their existing plant. <br /> <br />Where they previously expected to employ no additional people, they now expect to employ <br />11 additional employees to join the 121 currently on the payroll. <br /> <br />The crucial component of their decision was rail access to the new site. With substantial <br />assistance from the NC Department of Transportation, a rail corridor was arranged across <br />the Mulberry Road right-of-way. And on October 8 the NCDOT Rail Committee awarded a <br />$121,000 grant to assist with the lead track construction. <br /> <br />Since the project is currently in the County and outside the town limits of Harrisburg, <br />documentation for the grant requires a resolution of support from the Board of County <br />Commissioners. We respectfully offer the attached draft for your consideration. <br /> <br />This project requires no additional action on your part. <br /> <br />Thank you in advance for your support of this fine Cabarrus County employer.
