STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA <br /> DEP~ RTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION <br /> <br /> RALEIGH 27611 <br /> <br />JAMES B. HUNT, J R. THOMAS W. B RADSHAW. JR. <br /> SECRETARY <br />GOVERNOR July 28, 1978 <br /> <br /> Mr. S. Glenn Hawfield, Jr., Chairman <br /> Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> P.O. Box 707 _ <br /> <br /> The Department of Transportation is making plans for the <br /> upcomiug CETA Fiscal Year which begins October 1, 1978. This <br /> past year we were fortunate enough to be allotted 230 positions <br /> from forty-four (44) counties through our Division of Community <br /> Employment contract and ninety (90) other positions were loaned <br /> through sixteen (16) counties from their own allotment. <br /> <br /> During the calendar year 1977, we strived constantly to use our <br /> CETA positions to the State's best advantage as well as provide <br /> subsidized employment for immediate relief to the unemployed and <br /> eventually unsubsidized employment within our Department or other <br /> businesses. This goal resulted in 145 participants of our 230 <br /> contract positions being hired within our Department or other <br /> businesses for an unsubsidized employment turnover of 63%. <br /> <br /> ~Ve feel this has been beneficial for our Department and the State <br /> as well as the individuals involved in the unemployment picture <br /> in your counties. Unemployed persons have gained employment, <br /> unemployment percentages have been reduced and work has been per- <br /> formed on our bighways that would not have been accomplished as <br /> quickly as it has. <br /> <br /> With these positive thoughts, we ask you to seriously consider the <br /> Department of Transportation and its request for positions as you <br /> determiae the allotment of your CETA funds in the next few weeks. <br /> <br /> <br />
