"The State of North Carolina with its abundance of natural beauty lends itself to income-producing outdoor recreation enterprises," FmHA County Supervisor Melvin E. Howell pointed out. Only 15 farms have taken advantage of this, opportunity since the inception of the programs several years ago. Most of these farms are in the mountains of western North Carolina except for three farmers in Hyde County who have developed marinans and camping facilities. The loans may be used to develop land and water resources; repair and construct building; buy land, equipment, livestock and other recreation items and pay necessary operating expenses. Recreation enterprises that may be financed include: Camp grounds and equipment; Swimming facilities; shooting preserves; lodges and ro Coastal Area Management : Why And What Editor's Note: This is Part I of a four-part series on the Coastal Area Management Program. This statement was supplied by the Coastal Resources Commission. In recent years the people of the world have begun to rediscover one of the world's greatest treasures the seacoast. The seacoast has always been the center of life for man. Seafood fed man, and the oceans were the highways for trade and adventure. For these reasons, most of the world's great cities are built along the coast. North Carolina has 320 miles of shoreline along the Atlantic Ocean. Besides ports for travel, trade, and seafood, North Carolina is also blessed with uniquely beautiful outerbanks, fertile coastal plans, and a system of bays and estuaries with an additional 3,400 miles of shoreline. This beauty and wealth is what people are rediscovering in record numbers every year. More and more people are vacationing on our beaches, purchasing coastal property for - businesses or second homes, enjoying the sport fishing along our shoreline, and depending on our commercial fishing and our agriculture. As the investment rises, the pressures also increase. After a while the pressures are too great to deal with, and the beauty and econonic strengths begin to crumble. We have seen this happen in other states where poor development led to polluted water and washed-out overcrowded beaches. When this happens, the area becomes a nuisance instead of a treasure. - v To support the people of coastal North Carolina in their efforts to develop their land carefully 'and wisely, tlte North Carolina General Assembly, has studied and approved series of bills oms for visitors; nature trails; golf courses; Winter sports areas; horseback riding stables; tennis courts; vacation cottages; lakes and ponds for boating and fishing; hunting facilities and target ranges. Andy Cope, in Macon County, is an excellent example of what a farmer can do with this FmHA financing. His farm of several hundred acres, in one of the most beautiful sections of North Carolina, had never been developed to its full income-producing resources. Taking advantage of the "lay of the land," its proximity to National Forest land, the abundance of clear mountain streams, and Farmers Home administration financing and technical help, Cope has developed one of the busiest recreation enterprises in the State. From small beginnings this development has become very profitable and provides cabins, fishing lakes, nature trails and camping facilities for the traveling public. To qualify for recreation type loans, Howell added, the applicant must be engaged in farming at the time he applies for the loans and manage and operate during the last 10 years. Some of the first acts dealt with dune protection, dredge and fill operations, and a study of the development needs of the. entire coastal region. After this study was concluded and public hearings were held to allow local people to act on the proposal, the 1975 Session of the North Carolina General Assembly received and enacted the Coastal Area Management Act. This act was carefully considered during the five years it was being prepared. It is now being implemented within the 20-county coastal area. There are two major benefits of the Coastal Area Management Act. The first is land use planning for the careful development of all of the 20 counties. The second benefit is the management of all of the important natural resources on which coastal people depend. To coordinate and direct the implementation of the program, the legislature Money Approved For Board Of Education " Congressman Walter B. Jones today announced that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare office of Education, has approved two applications for federal financial assistance pursuant to Title I : of public law 874, as amended, which provides assistance for schools and federally affected areas. The Perquimans County Board of Education in Hertford has been approved for a tentative entitlement for fiscal year 1975 in. the amount of $22,549, of which $IK.11 is certified for immediate payment to the recreation enterprise after the loan is made. Intermediate-term loans are made to finance recreation equipment and operating expenses. Such loans are secured by liens on chattel property, including livestock, equipment and fixtures. Larger, long-term loans are also available and are generally secured by a mortgage on the farm! Unlike other Farmers Home Administration loans made to farmers, the recreation loans are not limited to a family-type operation. Also, the farmer can retain nonessential real estate. Farmers are encouraged to visit the local office of Farmers Home Administration to get the facts on these loans programs that may benefit them. Funds are available now for this special purpose. The FmHA office serving Perquimans and Chowan Counties is located in the Perquimans County Office Building in Hertford and the office serving Pasquotank, Camden and Currituck Counties is located in the Perquimans County Office Building in Hertford and the office serving Pasquotank, Camden and Currituck Counties is located at 101 Federal Building, Elizabeth City. established the Coastal Resources Commission and the Coastal Resources Advisory Council. The 15 commissioners are all coastal residents and most of them were nominated to the board by local governments in the 20 counties. The commiss ioners are local government officials, scientists, businessmen, and developers who are knowledgable and concerned about coastal problems. They are supported by the larger advisory council which is made up of local government officials, scientists, and businessmen, as well as regional and state officials. The energies of both of these groups are currently being applied to the first requirement of the Act, the land use planning taking place in all of the counties. The next article in this series will explore what a landuse plan is, and how it is produced. reach the school district within the next week or so. The Gates County Board of Education in Gatesville has been approved for a tentative entitlement for fiscal year 1975 in the amount of $15,090 of which $1 1.317 is certified for immediate payment, also to reach the board within a week or so. Additional payments to both school districts will be subject to such adjustments' as may be required by actual data in place of estimates, and by the availability of funds in relation to total entitlement for financial assistance
