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. The town,

New Business To
Open Office Here
Ist Choice Homes, a Dallas bas
ed firm which builds uniquely
economical steel-framed houses on
site, has targeted Edenton for its
next sales center.
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.”

combined with regular appropria

FmHA a much higher program
level of SBOO-million in loans and
$206-miUhm in grants for this same
penoa.
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

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

difficult than for urban areas.”
Interest rates for water and
waste disposal loans vary from 5

Elmore, Copeland To Lobby For
Community Block Grant Funds
Chowan County along with
twenty-six other North Carolina
communities have submitted Com
munity Development Block Grant
applications to the Department of
Natural Resources and Communi
ty Development.
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
