MA YOR MILTON HUNT
Pembroke Mayor Milton Hunt has filed for
re-election to that poaition. He la completing eight yean

eight years as a member of the Pembroke Town Council,
in making his aaasies?fte* ft* H election. Mayor Hunt
"I have certainly enjoyed serving the citizens of the
town of Pembroke and am offering my services again.
I wish to touch on a few of the many accomplishments
in the Town of Pembroke that I am most proud of. We
have received more than 3 million dollars in Community
Development Grants that have been used to remodel
more than 300 homes in the town, also there has been
much improved curbing and gutters, streets have been
paved, drainage projects, sewer installion and the
weatherization program. The town has applied for an
Economic Development Grant If this application is
successful, this money will be used for the recruitment of
industry. This will means more jobs for our community.
This is something we desperately need.
"We have experienced unprecedented economic
growth over the last few years. We have seen the
construction and development of Colony Plaxa, a new post
office building, Progressive Savings and Loan, Linda's
Restaurant, Joe's Restaurant, Southern Interiors and
other indications of economic growth for the town.
"A much needed 80-bed nursing home is now under
construction. This project will b e the only nursing home
beds outside the city of Lumberton in the county.
Apartments are now being built behind Hill's. These will
be available for the elderly and handicapped only. These
are all much needed projects for the town. I am proud of
the part that I have played in helping to establish these
projects. I have demonstrated my strong commitment to
economic growth and will continue to support good
economic growth for our town and area.
"Anotehr major accomplishment for the town is the
recently opened Pembroke library. This was a much
needed addition to the town.
"On October 2 the town and Pembroke State University
hosted the second annual Pembroke Day on campus. The
first one was a great success and brought together not
only our business people and students on campus, but our
citizens as well. The second one was even mon
successful. This program certainly helps improve
relations with Pembroke State University. Along with
Chancellor Joseph Oaendine, this is one of the areas that I
have stressed, to have a good working relationship with
Pembroke State University. We are building better
relations and now have a good relationship. We need each
other.
"And nil of us should realize that the Wtfa is a
business. 1 behevetaht being a stnall businessasan mysell
ffvM me vnfuabie insight Into the operations of the town.
I believe that one reason the town has net had a tax
increase siene I became may or is bemuse of the
administration of the town's finances. Our staff has done
sn excellent job at holding expenditures down. With ail
the recent government cutbacks, mors of the finanical
burden has fallen on local government. Our staff should
be commended.
"I have worked hard in all aspects in ay position aa
mayor. With your help and support, I wfll continue to
serve you."
Hunt, 4(1. u married to the former Polly Pease. who is
employed by the Public Schools at Robeson County. They
hsve two children and four grandchildren.
