Community Development Block Grant - Economic Development Grant Application- Public Bearin~ - 5:30 P.M. Mr. Clifton discussed the need for a water line extension to the Midland area to serve as a secondary feeder. The proposed 16-inch water line costing an estimated $3 million would serve additional industrial development activities, including the British Oxygen Corporation and a possible printing company, and would provide additional water service to the Corning facility. Based on the City of Concord's funding formula for extensions outside the City limits, the City's share of the project is estimated at approximately $1 million. However, there is no official commitment by the City of Concord for this funding. It is hoped that the State will provide $1 million and the County would make up the difference through participation and dealing with the Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC). Mr. Bob Stark, Consultant, reviewed the proposed grant application and discussed the establishment of connection fees to recoup a portion of the cost of the project. He pointed out that authorization to submit the application would include the County's commitment for its portion of the funding. Chairman Casper opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to address the Board regarding the proposed Economic Development Grant application for funding under the CDBG Program to help fieance a $3 million water line to serve British Oxygen Corporation and Corning in the Midland area. The Public Hearing Notice was published in THE INDEPENDENT TRIBUNE on December 18, 1997. Mr. Walt Kiefer, member of the Planning and Zoning commission, stated he was neither for nor against the line. However, he stated the line is needed to serve industry in the Midland area. There was no one else to address the Board, and Chairman Casper closed the public hearing.
