Carolina Uateenity Regional
Development. Institute is
caterteg its 10th year of service
with completion of
approximately 1,500 projects to
its credit.
To meet changing conditions,
flexibility has been emential to
success, says Thomas W. Willis,
director of the services. For
example, a recent shift has been
from coastal land development
to aiding local enterpreneurs
locate financial assistance.
There has been little problem
shifting emphasis rapidly from
one area to another because of
the wide range of
comprehensive services the
Institute offers. It is involved in
community development,
business assistance,
informational services and
special projects which deal with
other interests from time to
time. These services are made
available to the 32 counties of
eastern North Carolina.
“Implementation is the-key
word,” Willis said. Institute
philosophy has been directed
towards action and solution
rather than solving the problem
on paper.
Willis is proud of the efforts in
community development. For
example, the institute handled
35 projects in this area from
June, 1972, through July, 1973.
Leonoir and Halifax counties
were aided in renovating their
airport faeilites, and the
institute assisted state and
federal efforts to implement
regional air serviqe between
Beaufort, .and
Raleigh.
The communites of
and Ayden received assistance*
in renovating their business
districts. Other communites
were aided in funding water and
waste treatment systems large
Oasbw and Lenoir counties iu
locating and planning areas
suitable for lnddstrial parks.
Fifteen “wet process” sites
yrere located for industries
requiring at least 500,000
gallons of water per day for use
in processing or release of
treated wastes.
North Carolina history recall*
the use of river boats and
barges along the rivers of the
.area. With this in mind, the
institute helped to find 15 sites
along navigable riven that
could be used for barge docking.
These sites provide a total of
20,000 acres for construction
of industrial and warehouse
facilities.
The institute recognizes that
in an area characterized by
under-employment of
resources, small businesses can
prove instrumental to economic
growth, Willis says. In aiding
persons desiring to open a
firm, but lacking capital or
knowhow, the first step is
usually to determine the
potential market for the product
or service.
If the survey shows the
product is feasible, the institute
will then assist in obtaining
financing and in some cases will
produce and aid in managing a>
prototype to show how it is done.
An example of prototype
assistance is “The New East”
magazine. After seeing the
prototype, Eden Press of
Edenton offered to take over the
magazine and publish it in what
has become a successful
venture.
The institute has offered
assistance in planning an ice
- skating rink in Greenville. It
IdMHiffered advice concerning
packing industries and fish
houses. Sites for marinas
have been located for interested
persons.
The institute’s library, one of
the largest of its kind in tbe
state, contains abstracts and
surveys which provide clues to
Eastern residents’ wants and
needs. These abstracts give
statistical breakdowns of.
informaation pertaining to
population, income, political
and religious affiliation and
many other items which
provide an accurate picture of
the average citizen of a given
area.
The institute sponsors from
four to five conferences a year
on various specialized ares
at interest. These conferences
Chance ». for
businessmen to learn new
techniques as well as changes in
legal aspects of business
development. The institute
recently sponsored a
conference dealing with how to
follow the law in dredging—how
to dredge and keep within the law
rather than merely saying what
you couldn’t do.
The special projects which
the institute has undertaken
have at times dealt in other
areas of interest.
Ten years ago, Minnesott
Beach in Pamlico County did
not exist as a town. With the
institute’s assistance, the town
was drawn up on paper and
carried through conception.
Today, Minnesott Beach is a
fully incorporated town that is
one of the largest in the county.
It even has an 18-hole golf
course.
Other special projects have
included designing of brochures
for towns to attract doctors and
industry, a study of the
feasibility of raising eels for
export and the preparation of an
environmental impact
statement for a new Pitt
' ' ’
County hospital.
* Tbe statement was
prepared in cooperation with
ECU faculty members,
aqfbitecta, engineers,
environmentalists
aumonues now rctjuirwi lor
all federal funding for new
lb* ttflfKW
analyzes the environment,
social and economic benefits
and costs which will bo derived
from the hospital in Greenville.
The institute has five full-time
development specialist* who
reflect tbe philosophy of the
institute fay their training. They
are not specialists in the
scholarly sense of the word, but
instead are specialists in
finding solutions to problems
and making them work.
Willis, as director of the
institute, reports directly to the
Chancellor, Vice Chancellor
and Director of Development at
ECU. With this method of
organization, the institute is
able to make maximum use of
the available resources of ECU.
The institute returns payment
by offering opportunities to
ECU students and faculty
interested in regional
development. Several work
study students work with the
institute and there are full-time
internships available for those
desiring practical field
experience.
A new home will soon be
ready for the Regional
Development Institute. Located
at First and Reade streets in
Greenville, the building will
provide a permanent center for
the institute to coordinate its
activities.
Now under construction, the
building will be ! ready for
occupancy in August. It will
include a 300 seat auditorium
along with conference rooms
and office space. The new
center will afford the
opportunity of a permanent
home for the Fegional
Development Institute to plan
another 10 years of growth.
