UDI Begins Phase II Expansion
Of Industrial Park
Phase II development
plans got underway at
UDI Industrial Park this
month. The Park was
recently expanded to 91
acres of which 15 acres
will be developed as an
office park;KV'.X-;:':;;
' According .to ' Ed ;..
Stewart, executive direc-:
tor of, UDI Community'
Development Corpora
tion, development plans ;
involve the extension of
sewer and' water lines,
paved streets and gut
ters, clearing and limited
landscaping. When the ,
infrastructure work is
complete, UDI In
dustrial Park, with
underground , electric ,
gas and rail service ac
cessibility, will be . the
most completely
developed industrial site
in the Durham-Raleigh
area.
The Park, started in
1978 with ihe help of
Federal funds, com
pleted Phase I land im
provement plans in 1979.
There are currently two
tenants, employing ap
proximately 100 persons.
in the Park. Stewart said
plans for a third building
are being prepared with
construction scheduled
to start early' in y 1983.
The building will consist
of 15,000 square feet and
cost v approximately
$350,000 He' also said
that ,'" negotiations : with
two r. additional tenants
should reach fruition
within the next two mon
ths. The" current tenants
are Northern Telecom,
occupying a 33,000
square foot facility and
Hydro Services, which
built a 15,000 square
Toot building. Northern
Telecom is well known in
the area of telecom
munications and Hydro
is a manufacturer of
water purification
systems. ,
Marketing for the In
dustrial Park is directed
to manufacturers seeking
5-10, acres to expand
their operations. The
major attraction is the
location of the Park
which is only one mile
from the Research
Triangle Park, the
largest planned Research
Park in the country.
'- Stewart said that UDI ;
Industrial Park has . a
five-year development
plan, which,' when com-1
pleted, : is proected to
; have 25 manufacturing
facities and 20 office
buildings with a total ;
value of $24,500,000. It
is estimated that approx-
" imately 1 ,000 jobs would
be created, generating an
annual income of
: $ 10-S1 2,000,000. .
It is evident that the
possible economic im-
; pact of the Industrial
Park can be a tremen
dous boost for the local

so that black contractors
will be assured of their
fair share of construc
tion work in our cities."
These are just a few
examples we hope to
consider . along with
resolutions from the na
tional black business
community, civil rights,
the churches, the black
colleges, sports and
that have the genuine in
terest of black America
at heart. We want to help
them and it is they who
can best tell us how to do
that," said Ford.
Ford said' that he
hoped this summit would
help establish a national
network; that the mayors
want to join forces with
the national organiza
tions so that they can
support them and they in
turn can support us.

held in Tuskegee at the
