Glenn Hawfield, Jr. <br /> <br /> Commissioners Robert A. MCCiary, Charles Gallimore, <br /> <br /> C. Frank James, John Hammett <br /> <br /> Budget requests from various departments were discussed, but no action <br /> <br /> was taken. <br /> <br /> Chairman Hawfield pointed out that the Board has until July 28 to set <br /> <br /> the final tax rate. <br /> <br /> A delegation headed by Gene Cook, representing the Concord Chamber <br /> <br /> of Commerce, ~ppeared before the Board and asked for money, specifically <br /> <br /> $7,000.00, for a master study plan for an airport for Cabarrus County. <br /> <br /> The ultimate goal would be construction of an airport in the Concord- <br /> <br /> Kannapolis area. The airport would be built with $250,000.00 in Federal <br /> funds; $125,000.00 in Cabarrus County funds, and $125,000.00 in state money, <br /> but the County would have to make up part of the state allotment if the <br /> state failed to come up with its full share. <br /> <br /> Chairman Hawfield told the delegation that the Board would consider <br /> <br /> their request, and a decision will be made after this is done. <br /> <br /> Having no further business, meeting adjourned. <br /> <br /> <br />
