November 29, 1984 More Industry Needed From Page 1-A Eugene LeGrand, county commissioner-elect who will be sworn into office Monday in - Shelby, along with Kings Moun- - tain’s Joyce Cashion, suggested - that the county, Shelby and Kings Mountain pool resources on some projects to save tax- payer dollars, as did Commis- : sioner Pete Stamey. Working : toward long-range planning was - another goal and LeGrand said that “somewhere in the future : we should think about joining - the elementary schools and : secondary education systems in : the county. I know it’s not * popular now and is controversial - but I think it would seem a good thing down the road to join the . systems under an umbrella of one administrative unit.” New . traffic arteries to take the place - of Highway 74 west in Shelby (Dixon Blvd.) and Highway 150 were also mentioned by one of the groups who suggested ideas during an informal discussion. Another group mentioned exten- ding water and sewer into the county (which Kings Mountain is initiating) and the reactivation of the Cleveland Association of Governmental Officials which was formed to provide all governmental bodies in the county an opportunity to discuss topics of mutual concern. Continuing the discussion of diversification in industry, Comm. Jim Dickey remarked that today there is very little left of the industry that was in Kings Mountian 40 years ago. Textiles is really hurting, he said. Other city commissioners, Humes Houston, Curt Gaffney and Irvin Allen, echoed Dickey’s remarks. Absent were city com- missioners Norman King and Corbet Nicholson. Pledging to work toward greater cooperation between county and city governing bodies, the group voted to hold another meeting in six months and agreed that by working together the county’s various governmental units can better meet some of their common goals. “Developing Strategy For A Community of Opportunity and Quality Living” was the theme for the seminar which begain with supper at the Holiday Inn Monday night and closed Tues- day night. Many topics of discussion were on the agenda for the two- day meeting with experts in the RET eg a ap ap mr a a fields of road improvement, com- munity health care, schools and waste management, etc. Paul Hughes, Director of Region C Isothermal Planning, was the Monday evening speaker and “Building Economic Development Strategies” was ex- plored by Mike Geouge and Tom Jones of the N.C.
