The proposed 16-inch water line costing an <br />estimated $3 million would serve ~dditional industrial development activities, <br />including the British Oxygen Corporation and a possible printing company, and <br />would provide additional water service to the Corning facility. Based on the <br />City of Concord's funding formula for extensions outside the City limits, the <br />City's share of the project is estimated at approximately $1 million. However, <br />there is no official commitment by the City of Concord for this funding. It is <br />hoped that the State will provide $1 million and the County would make up the <br />difference through participation and dealing with the Water and Sewer Authority <br />of Cabarrus County (WSACC). <br /> <br /> Mr. Bob Stark, Consultant, reviewed the proposed grant application and <br />discussed the establishment of connection fees to recoup a portion of the cost <br />of the project. He pointed out that authorization to submit the application <br />would include the County's commitment for its portion of the funding. <br /> <br /> Chairman Casper oPened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to <br />address the Board regarding the proposed Economic Development Grant application <br />for funding under the CDBG Program to help finance a $3 million water line to <br />serve British Oxygen Corporation and Corning in the Midland area. <br /> <br /> The Public Hearing Notice was published in THE INDEPENDENT TRIBUNE on <br />December 18, 1997. <br /> <br /> Mr. Walt Kiefer, member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, stated he <br />was neither for nor against the line. However, he stated the line is needed to <br />serve industry in the Midland area. <br /> <br /> There was no one else to address the Board, and Chairman Casper closed the <br />public hearing. <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Niblock, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter <br />with Commissioners Niblock and Carpenter and Chairman Casper voting for and <br />Commissioner Mills voting against, the Board authorized the submission of an <br />Economic Development Grant application for funding under the Community <br />Development Block Grant Program to help finance a $3 million water line to serve <br />British Oxygen Corporation (BOC), CPS, Inc. and Corning in the Midland area. <br /> <br />A~pointments - Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carpenter, seconded by Commissioner Mills and <br />unanimously carried, the Board appointed Ms. Betty Moss and Ms. Vickey Page to <br /> <br /> <br />
