Sportswear Factory To
Be Located At Louisburg
L.UU1SOUKU ? me Louls
burg-Franklin County Devel-:
opment Corporation has signed |
a lease with a leading sports-'
wear manufacturing company j
for a new plant to be located]
in Franklin County.
The new manufacturing
plant, which will eventually
employ upwards of 350 people
with an annual payroll from
$400,000.00 to nearly $1 mil
lion, will be located near
Louisburg at the intersection
of highways 561 and 401 and |
will require a 30,000 square
foot building.
Gordon Zealand, Director of
the Franklin County Industrial
Development Commission, in
making the announcement, said
the company would begin op
eration upon completion of tho
building with about 150 em
ployees and gradually increase
to some over 350.
The building, to be construct
ed of brick and block, will be
a modern, one story type, com
pletely fireproof and air-con
ditioned, with ample parking
space for employees, and will
be located in the 10 acre "in
dustrial park" just northeast
of the town limits owned by
the County Development Cor
poration. Provisions were also
made in the contract for ex
pansion of the building up to
70,000 square feet.
Zealand credited W. J. Ben
ton, Chairman of the County
Industrial Development Com
mission, and Bland B. Pruitt,
President of the Development
Corporation, as being the two
most instrumental in getting
the new industry to locate in
Franklin County. Benton, who
headed the drive to establish
me tuumy on ice neaaea Dy1
Zealand, began initial negotia
tions with the firm over a year
and a half ago and has been
one of the chief negotiators
throughout the long series.
Pruitt, Zealand said, as pres
ident of the Development Cor
poration, which handled all the
financial arrangements for the
site and the building, led ne
gotiations in that field. It was
Pruitt who actually signed the
contract with the concern to
locate here.
Others instrumental in the
industrial planning and detail
work, Zealand said, were: G.
M. Beam, Jr., Edmond Rabil,
J M. Allen, Jr., E. F. Yar
borough and a number of
others.
Activity towards construction
is expected to get underway al
most immediately. The North
Carolina State Highway Com
mission is going to put in ac
cess roads to the area. The
Town of Louisburg is provid
ing water and sewer lines to
the location, and Carolina Pow
er and Light Company is bring
ing power lines to the site, all
of these without cost to the
local group.
The detailed plans and spe
cifications are to be available
soon and local contractors are
expected to submit bids for
the construction of the plant
building.
The Company has indicated
that they will open an employ
ment office pTior to the com
pletion of their building for in
terviews, screening, and man
ual dexterity tests, the date of
which will be announced later.
Consideration is also being giv
en to the establishment of a
''Training School" under the
sponsorship of the state In
dustrial Education Commission
and the Franklin County Board
of Education. Several details
on this have to be worked out
and the final plans and dates
will be made later.
The Company has announc
ed that almost the entire plant
will be staffed locally, and that
only a few supervisory or man
agerial personnel will be
brought in here. This means
very substantial employment
locally, with good job oppor
tunities for local people.
