I have a very important article that will be very helpful for the Somali people
and us! Here is the article: Updated on Sunday, January 14, 2001 12:04:35 AM.
Wayne needs more industry sites, EDC told ATLANTIC BEACH -- Wayne County is
running out of products to sell in the fast-paced, competitive game of industry
recruitment, consultants say. And it's time to build up the inventory. The
products are industrial sites -- land and vacant buildings the county can use
to attract companies. "You need sites in a hurry," said consultant Robin Spinks
of Greenfield Associates. "There is very little product in your inventory right
now." Ms. Spinks and Mary Lilley of Greenfield Associates in Wrightsville Beach
have been taking stock of potential industrial sites in Wayne County under a
$10,000 study commissioned by the Economic Development Commission. The
consultants, who are often hired by companies to find sites, presented their
preliminary findings during an EDC retreat Friday. The weekend retreat was the
first one by the EDC in three years. It was held at Atlantic Beach, with 27
government, education and business leaders in Wayne County attending. The
consultants recommended that the county! prepare four types of sites to attract
companies: one with 500 or more acres, one with 100 to 500 acres, one with 50
to 100 acres and several sites of 5 to 50 acres. The consultants found nine
potential sites, all of which are vacant land: Two are in northwestern Wayne,
one with about 500 acres and another with about 200 acres. One is south of
Pikeville with about 350 acres. Three are west of Goldsboro, ranging in size
from 100 to 250 acres. One is at Grantham with about 375 acres. One is between
Goldsboro and Mount Olive with about 130 acres. And one is south of Mount Olive
with about 100 acres. The exact locations were not revealed to the public,
because the study is still under way. No property owners have been contacted,
and neither the EDC nor the county commissioners have decided to act on the
recommendations. But those attending the retreat seemed receptive to the idea.
The sites would serve as alternatives to ParkEast ! Business and Industrial
Park off Martin Luther King Expressway. Economic leaders say different types of
property are needed to attract companies that are not interested in being in an
industrial park or that may want to be in a park that has fewer restrictions
than ParkEast. The sites could become industrial parks, or they could stand
alone. "Economic development is selling," Ms. Lilley said. "You are selling
product, and your product is your site." The message of having industrial sites
isn't new to EDC members, who have been told the same thing over and over by
state officials and by visiting company representatives. But the problem comes
with finding land suitable for industrial development and getting the amount of
investment needed to prepare it. Land with all the amenities that companies
want, like sewer and water lines, highway access and natural-gas service, is
not easily found in rural Wayne, Ms. Spinks said. The land should b! e close to
utility lines. And most important of all, it must have fast access -- now, or
in the future -- to Interstates 95 or 40. All of the potential areas are close
to existing highways or future ones like the future U.S. 117 and the proposed
U.S. 70 Bypass. Companies also want to be away from residential areas, to avoid
potential conflicts, Ms. Lilley said. Only about one-third of the county has
zoning, which means that in most of the county, people can build whatever they
want, where ever they want. Many companies are reluctant to build a plant where
residential development could grow near them, Ms. Lilley said. They foresee
neighbors complaining about noise, traffic or other problems. The consultants
said the nine sites are far enough from residential areas to avoid conflicts.
Some county leaders have pressed for zoning that would provide orderly growth
and preserve potential industrial sites. Without zoning, the other option to !
buy enough land to provide a buffer between the business and surrounding
property, Ms. Spinks said. Then comes the problem of how to obtain the land. So
far, the county commissioners have been the lead organization in funding
industry-recruitment projects. One possibility is for the county to buy the
land like it did with the back portion of the ParkEast Business and Industrial
Park. Ms. Spinks said another way may be to take out options. This works by the
county paying a certain percentage of the price of the land. The property owner
gets the rest of the money when the property is sold to a company. The property
owner also agrees to let the county market the land to industry. Ms. Spinks
recommended that the county take out options for at least five years with
automatic renewals. The county could also obtain a letter of intent from the
land owner guaranteeing the property's sale. But some companies are
uncomfortable with that, she said! . Once the property is available for sale to
companies, it must be prepared. Companies want land that is ready to be built
upon, Ms Lilley said. That means conducting surveys, preparing maps, soil tests
and other preparations. It costs about $50,000 to prepare each site. The county
can get state grants to pay for it, she said. But the bottom line, the
consultants said, is that companies expect cheap -- or free -- land and
buildings. And once they own them, they want to be able to act fast to
construct a new building or to move into an existing one. "They're in a hurry,"
said Ms. Spinks. "And they want to be able to get it as cheap as possible."
