Hie North Carolina Indian Housing Authority has awarded a contract for general construction of housing units in Cumberland, Hoke, and Robeson counties to W.H.

Weaver Construction submitted a bid of $5,049,395 to build 204 units and met contract requirements of bidders.

He noted that this is (he first housing project to he sponsored by the Indian Housing Authority. Hardin said funding for the project was provided by a contract with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD awarded the Indian Housing Authority a contract for $7,153,890 On January 28, 1980 to build and operate the housing. A. Bruce Jones, acting director of the Indian Housing Authority said. "We have worked long and hard to see the housing built."
