BMW Move Certain
To Have Impact
On Polk County
Polk County and other West
ern North Carolina areas antici
pate a major economic spin-off
from BMW’s decision to build
its first U.S. plant in the Spar
tanburg area.
Area business, government
and community leaders point to
the importance of the immedi
ate development and imple
mentation of a county-wide
land-use plan to prepare for
whatever growth, residential or
otherwise, that Polk County
will experience as a result of
BMW's new plant locating
nearby.
Polk County is presently
developing such a land-use
plan with the help of the Iso
thermal Planning and Develop
ment Commission through a
land-use planning grant. The
final plan will be a joint effort
of the Polk County Commis
sioners, the Economic Devel
opment Commission and the
Planning and Zoning Board.
Polk County's land-use plan
ning project is coming at the
right time in order for Polk
County to benefit substantially
by BMW's announcement
Tuesday, said Charles Neff,
President of the Tryon/Thermal
Belt Chamber of Commerce
and a member of the Polk
County Economic Development
Commission.
"Tlie sign ordinance and
land-use planning are so much
more important now than ever,"
