Asst. Manager Asked
To Pursue Private
Development Corp.
In answer to complaints from
the Polk County Economic
Development Commission that
things are moving too slowly,
the Polk County Board of
Commissioners on Monday
decided to speed up.
They asked newly hired
Assistant County Manager Lane
Bailey to establish a private
economic development corpo
ration for the county. Tins is an
economic development tool
used in many other locations.
A private corporation,
although owned by the county,
could make investments in land
and buildings which the county
could not make.
Bailey's report Monday
detailed his initiation into Polk
County politics. While
attending his first meeting
of the EDC last month, Bailey
and EDC board chairman Glenn
Rhodes were presented a letter
asking the commissioners to
clarify their position on several
economic development issues.
Bailey told the county board
members that the EDC wanted
formal statements on county
policy regarding:
* zoning for industrial, com
mercial and residential areas;
7 the acquisition of land for
industrial sites;
’ water and sewer extensions;
’ and incentives the county
can promise to industrial pro
spects.
Bailey said he had told the
EDC that he believed Polk
County had been working on all
those issues, with the exception
of zoning.
"Before we could responsibly
do that (zoning), we would have
to have a land use plan," he
said. A land use plan is being
prepared. Even so, Bailey said
traditional zoning may never
suit a rural county like Polk.
Bailey said he urged the EDC
to be patient yet awhile longer
and that he expected his efforts
to begin to bear fruit in six
months' time.
Board chairman Jeannie Mar
tin agreed with Bailey.
"This board has done more
planning than anybody ever has
in Polk County," she said.
But Marlin conceded that the
EDC may not have been made
aware of the county's efforts.
She said one hindrance was the
too frequent turnover in the
assistant county manager's
she said.
Commissioner Tim McCor
mack asked County Attorney R.
Jay Foster to check whether
state law prohibits a commis
sioner from also sitting on the
EDC board. Currently no
member of the county board
serves on the EDC.
Crafts Spring Show
At Fine Arts Center
The Annual Craft Exhibit now
going on in the Mural Room of
Tryon Fine Arts Center is very
much a part of Tryon's beautiful
springtime and well worth a
visit while enjoying the spec
tacular color of the plantings
along Melrose Ave., Tryon.
The collection represents out
standing examples of the vari
ety of handicrafts created this
year by participants in classes at
Tryon Crafts and reflects the
higli quality of the work being
done in our community. Some
of the articles are for sale.
The exhibit this spring is
dedicated to Lucy Cate, beloved
friend of Tryon Crafts and its
founder in I960. Mrs. Cate was
a talented weaver who conti
nued her teaching until shortly
before her death this past year.
Several articles she wove are
being shown here.
The exhibit will continue
through April 22, Monday
through Friday 10-12 and 2-4’
All visitors are welcome.
