Town Accepts A Grant From State In its June 7th meeting, the Town of Edenton voted to accept a grant from the State of North Carolina for a half-million dollars. The grant was awarded to the town to help finance its new land application sewage treatment facility. The grant will be matched by local funds and will supplement the 16.47 million that the town has already received from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. The coat of the new wastewater facility is estimated at $8.45-million. The facility was not permitted by flie Federal Aviation Administra tion to be built on the Town owned Edenton Airport.

Ist Choice, a division of Jewell Building Systems, Inc., was recent ly ranked 175th in INC. Magazine’s list of the “500 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the U.S.” The five-year-old company already has builders in 11 North Carolina cities. “We think Edenton is an ideal market area for our houses,” said Everett Jewell, president of Ist Choice, “and it is a logical next move for us. Our goal is to make our sales centers easily accessible to all Carolinians by the end of this year. An Edenton location is strategic to this plan.” “I believe our houses, costing under $30,000, will revolutionize the housing industry,” said Jewell. “I think Ist Choice will become the McDonald’s of the building in dustry, as soon as enough people discover the concept.” “In addition to bring affordable,” said Jewell, “these homes are cost efficient. Heavy insulation keeps heating and cooling bills for a stan dard 1,025 square foot model at an average of S3O or less a month.” “Also, steel doesn’t deteriorate like wood and costs much less to maintain, and Are insurance rates may be sharply reduced for residents of steel frame houses.” Jewell estimates that some 80 per cent of prospective home buyers nationwide have been priced out of conventional housing. “Anytime you have an 80 par cent market and an effective product, you might as well hitch up the locomotive and go,” he said. Besides national sales, Ist Choice is now negotiating to build 20,000 steel homes in Colombia, South America. Terry Chamberlain, national sales manager for Ist Choice, said, “At this point, we do not know who our building contractor in Edenton will be. We are still accepting applications.” “When the contractor is selected, he will then find a good location to build a model in Edenton, and this will be our sales center.” “If everything works out as planned, we could be showing a model house to prospective Eden ton home owners in two or three months.” m 1 Dr. William Stephen Blakemore Hospital Welcomes Dr. Blakemore Dr. William Stephen Blakemore is opening an office for the practice of ophthalmology at 102 West Eden Street in Edenton on July 1.

The additional funds made available in North Carolina for rural water and waste disposal system financing has increased by $8,091,000 in loans and $2,479,000 in grants for fiscal year 1963. This will increase the finds available to $25,000,000 in loans and sß,ooo,oooin grants. These additional finds could create approximately 586 jobs such as on the worksite pipeline manufacturers, transpor tation and die like. The extra fimds provided by the jobs bill “will provide further im petus to the economic recovery that is beginning to take hold,” Godwin said. “This boost is im portant in rural areas whose abili ty to borrow is traditionally more difficult than for urban areas.” Interest rates for water and waste disposal loans vary from 5 per cent to a market rate (current ly 9.125 per cent), depenefing on the income of the community and any existing health or sanitary problems.

The sixteen municipalities and ten counties are requesting a total of $12.9-million for economic development projects ranging from the expansion of waterlines to ac comodate new or expanding in dustries to the establishment of low interest loan pools by the local government to assist businesses and industries. The request from Chowan Coun ty for $750,000 is for the expansion of the water system in the northern part of the County. The expanded water system will assist the coun ty in meeting the growing water needs of United Piece and Dye Works. Specific plans call for the upgrading of the Valhalla pumping station from its present rate of 200 gallons per minute to 900 gallons per minute. Funds for the Community Development Block Grant include a portion of the states’ regular grant allocation from the federal government for fiscal year 1903 and up to $8.5 million from the recently enacted federal Job 6 Bill. But despite foe additional foods from the Jobs Bill, there is not enough money to cover all footing requests and, according to NRCD Secretary Joseph Grimsley, a competitive grants selection system was developed because such a situation was anticipated. “With cutbacks in other federal funding programs, wa knew cities ly turning to foe Community dollars and it was imperative that a selection system be developed which would result in foe Hmited funds having foe greatest impact Grimsley foals the selection system, developed in cooperation with local officials, has worked category in MMJMnilni h _ _ _ cMty needy cam—Mas to reduce thrir costs to a reasonable level. the rural credit agnacy of the U.S. formers and other rural residents credit finance forms, homes and as water and waste disposal Chowan County Has High Yield Gotten production in Chowan County in 1962 totaled bales (net weight 466 points per bale) from 4,970 acres harvested.
