want to.
This was not a vote to incorporate
the town, as some residents may
believe. This approval will simply
give the people of Cooleemee a
chance to exercise their given rights
by voting in the election.
The board of directors of the CIDA
will decide when the vote will be
called. At the same time, five coun
cilmen will be elected to serve on the
Cooleemee town Board.
Prior to the election on the in
corporation of the town, a public
meeting will be set up, possibly in the

people of the cost of such an election

The directors will make every
effort to have legal and professional
authorities of all related fields,
present at this meeting. There will
also be a representative from Bur
lington Industries on hand to try to
answer any questions the people may
have.
