PEMBROKE RECEIVES $259,850
FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
,.;T.. -''TV&; ' ?
Community development efforts in
Ftembroke received a boast this week
?hen Governor Jim Hunt announced that
tie city has been awarded $258,850
trough the Community Development
Bock Grant program for fiscal year
1982-83.
"The competition for the $45 million in
federal funds was very tough, and
Ffembroke is to be commended for
developing a plan which met the aim of
fee program-providing benefits to low
md moderate-income citizens by revita
lizing the community and spurring
economic development through more
jobs," the Governor added. The state
received requests for over $150.
Governor Hunt described the pro
gram's value as "immediately evident,"
noting that the grants awarded to 89 local
%
governments across the state will create
over 700 jobs and rehabilitate more than
'1,800 houses. HIHfll lor economic
development will be matched with over
S7 million in additional dollars.
"These benefits, in keeping with die
program's purpose, are primarily for
those North Carolinians in die low and
moderate-income brackets, those indi
viduals who have been hardest hit by our
current economic crisis," he added.
Thirteen local governments received
grants to honor multi-year funding
commitments made by the Department
of Housing - and Urban Development
(HUD) during the past two years.
This is the first year the state has
administered the federal community
development block grant program. For
merly administered by HUD, the pro
i
gram was shifted to the states is part of
the new federalism concept. All counties
in the state, and all hot 15 largest cities
in the state were eligible to apply for
block grant funds. The largest cities will
continue to be funded directly from die
federal government and include: Ashe
ville, Concord, Salisbury, Durham, Rat
Greensboro, Burlington, Charlotte, Gas
tonia, Concord, Salisbury, Drham, Ral
eigh, Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Wil
mington and Hickory.
The block grant program was designed
by the Department of Natural Resources
and Community Development, in coope
ration with local government leaders.
The program is administered by the
department's Division of Community
Assistance.
Town Manager McDuffie Cummings,
Mayor Pete Jacobs and other town
officials, expressed satisfaction in reeei
viag the grant. Said Cummings, "this
grant will help tremendously in helping
us revitalize an area of our town that
needs upgrading. It will be a good
investment for our town and allow us to
adjust to the difficult economic times all
of us are being."
Pembroke will use its monies to
rehabilitate 16 substandard houses and
make much needed street improvements
on Pine Street.
Cummings said, "After four futile
grant proposals Pembroke has now
'received two in successive years. 1
attribute this to our Mayor and Council's
hard working efforts and their continuing
to press to see that Pembroke is
represented in the grant making pro
cess."
Pembroke's Mayor is James A.
"Pete" Jacobs; Council members are
Sam Dial, Milton Hunt, Larry Brooks and
Rod Locklear.

County
Board of
Education
approves
Re-Districting
Plan
Laymon Locklear, outgoing board
member, presented a proposal for
re districting of school board members to
the county board of education Tuesday
night. Locklear offered his proposal in
the form of a motion for approval. Second
was by Ed Morton.
Locklear prefaced his motion by saying
that the proposal was "A reduction of
multi-member districts. Eight of the nine
districts were one-member districts.
With the proposed plan eight of the nine
districts wfll remain unchanged.
Changes will
be made in District IV. And District X
win be added."
Serving on the committee along with
Locklear who was chairman, were Lillian
Paye Locklear, David Green, Ed Morton,
and Pete Clark. In 1986 the plan would
reduce the number of board members in
District IV from 3 to 2 seats.
Dr. Gerald Maynor had a series of
questions. He questioned the "urgency
of die reapportionment, the composition
of the reapportionment committee, and
the lack of knowledge-on the part of
board members, relative to the proposed
plan. He polled other members who were
not on the committee. Each one,
including J.B. Musselwhite, Rufus Gra
ham, John Gibson, if they had ever seen
the plan before. They each gave a
negative response.
Dr. Maynor asked die attorney about,
the necessity of voting on die proposal
prior to a public bearing. It was the
opinion of Attorney Eari H. Strickland
that die Justice Department would not |
give pro-clearance on an issue. His
opinion was that the board should act on
the proposal and then open the matter
for public scrutiny via a public hearing.
After some discussion on the Voting
Rights Act, etc. Dr. Maynor stated, "1
hope this body has learned a lesson, but I
have my doubts."
Seemingly lueetving no satisfactory
answers to his questions, Dr. Maynor
voted a resounding "no" on the motion.
V?tfa?g in favor of the motion wen: Ed
Morton, Laymon Lacklsat, J.B. ?fuseeI
