NOTICE TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES FAIR HOUSING COMPLIANCE BRUNSWICK COUNTY As a recipient of a Small Cities Community Develop ment Block Grant for Economic Development, Bruns wick County has developed and implemented a re cipient plan to further Fair Housing which includes a complaint procedure for the purpose of receiving and responding to complaints generated as a result of perceived violations of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. The County's Fair Housing Plan and Com plaint Procedure is available for inspection in the office of Public Housing, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Holidays. Perita B. Price Public Housing Director "I think it's a little premature to get peopled excited about it," said Rich Barnes of the Committee oflOO. He said he hoped there could be a formal announcement on the status of negotiations next month. The factory would be built in two phases, with the first scheduled for completion in mid- 1993. The ini tial 75,000-square-foot section of the plant would employ about 100 people. The second phase would in clude a building twice that size and add another 200 to 300 workers. Web Technologies is currently headquartered at a 125-employee plant in Oakvillc, where is makes a polyester film used in packaging mi crowave popcorn and for making tinsel, garland and labels. The com pany has indicated it plans to keep its home office in Connecticut. Monks said the Resources Development Commission has been trying to attract the company to Lcland sincc April 1991, when a real estate broker first inquired about a Brunswick County site for the plant He said the company was inter ested in the area bccausc of reason able land prices, "livability" and low taxes. "Let's face it, we do have a rela tively attractive tax climate," Monk said. He said the company was able to qualify for a state program that pro vides for $2,800 in tax credits for each employee. The tax breaks arc divided over a four-year period. Monk said Web Technologies was also attracted by the "fantastic training program" offered for its em ployees. He said spccial training geared specifically for plant workers would be made available through Brunswick Community College. If it chooscs to build a factory here, Web Technologies would be the eighth company to loeate at the 2,200-acre Lcland Industrial Park.
