Mars Hill Receives Cannon Grant Mara Hill College baa received a $39,500 grant (Tom the Cannon Foun dation, Inc. of Concord, NC, to assist with the construction of a waste water treatment plant which will benefit both the college and the town of Mars Hill The college established a waste water treatment plant in 1K4. Since that time, federal and state standanfc changed and the college was inform ed in 1980 that the system would have to be upgraded or replaced to meet secondary treatment standards. The town of Mars Hill also began its first study of a waste water treatment center 1964. However, the town was unable to put together an affordable system within the limits of its tax base. In 1981, town officials and col lege trustees explored the possibility of a Joint venture which has proved to be successful. Under this plan, the college will fur nish four acres of land for the site location, collector lines valued at $250,000, and a cash outlay of $150,910. The college will also operate the plant at its share of operating costs. Tte town obtained FHA financing, state and federal grants, and a citizen approved bond issue for its |U million portion of the project. The debt will be financed through user fees. "THs is a great opportunity to demonstrate how a cooperative ven ture can benefit both the college and the entire town of Mars Hill," stated Dr. Fred Bentley, college president. "We are grateful ta the Cannon Fou> dation for assisting us in meeting our goal." The Cannon Foundation was established in 1943 with funds donated by Charles A. Cannon, Hearne Swink, and the Cannon Mills Corporation. Its broad purposes include hospitals, community funds, public schools, and higher education, including scholar ship funds.
