Energy Shortage Fails To Dim Development If the first full week in January, 1974, is any in dication, the nation's energy shortage has failed to dim the-" economic development of Charlotte - Mecklenburg No less than four blue-ribbon corporations announced plans to open new Charlotte - Mecklenburg facilities during the week ending January 11th. American Color & Chemical Corporation. Midrex Cor poration, North American Rockwell's Textile equipment division and Alcan made public their plans to move facilities to Charlotte or to add to their corporate operations IJach fits the Chamber’s _policy of desirable and selective economic development. ucicv. u v c aiiu ucsil dUlC economic development of Charlotte Mecklenburg supplies needed job op portunities. a broadening tax base, employment for com mercial and residential construction and a controlled expansion of goods and ser vices for the community. r William M. Ficklen, Economic Development Manager for the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, characterized the four an nouncements as “unusual but graitfying.” "It is unusual for the work with four economic prospects to culminate in one week,” said Ficklen, “but it is gratifying to see up to two and three years of work in each case come to a successful conclusion for Charlotte - Mecklenburg." Work in economic development is a complex, time-consuming and highly confidential process, says Ficklen-. It involves con tacting highly desirable corporate operations which fit into the overall economic development goals of the Chamber, supplying them with a wealth of statistical information on Charlotte Mecklenburg and its quality of life. Then there is a waiting period while the corporation evaluates moving costs, marketing or fhanufacturing advantages, cost of land and construction, availability of labor and raw materials, taxes and a hundred other factors Usually Charlotte Mecklenburg is competing with several other possible loca l Ions ami compctTiTve advantages are also evaluated. Above all, says Ficklen, any indication that a company is contemplating a move must be ^kept absolutely con fidential. “Sometimes," says Ficklen “corporate mergers are in volved. In other cases, con sideration of several locations might result in unusual ad vantages being granted if the future move became public knowledge. There are many reasons why confidentiality must be honored until after the move is announced." I >R. HIGHTOWER Opens office here Hightower Begins Practicing Here Dr. James P.
