er Page 10A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, July 30, 1992 AER FIRESTONE From Page 1-A and Gaston sides of the highway for potential development. "We are very excited about this new industry in the Greater Kings Mountain community. Running utilities to this area opens up prospects of additional industrial development in this area," said City Manager George Wood. He said the site's attributes in- clude exposure and easy access of- fered by I-85, availability of major utilities and nearness to Firestone's existing work force in Gastonia. The site also offers room for fu- ture expansion. When the new plant opens, Firestone will close its West Second Avenue plant in Gastonia that has operated since 1935. "It's a very high profile site," said Tim Helms, president of the Gaston Chamber of Commerce. "If you want to present a good image, what better place to do that than on 1-85." GAS From Page 1-A lake control strip fronting 117 Lakepoint Drive, North Shores Subdivision, Moss Lake, at the re- quest of the owner, Stephen Scism. This is the first request under the amended ordinance on new regula- tions of city-owned Moss Lake. Amended the city's drug testing policy to add a clearer defnition of the steps employees can take if they test positive for illegal drug use and to meet the Department of Transportation Pipeline Safety regulations, a model for the first random employee testing done by the city. The revised paragraph spells out that an employee can re- quest a second test. The revised paragraph of the policy reads: "If the specimen test results are positive, an employee has the right to submit a written re- quest for retest of the original spec- imen within 60 days of receipt of the final test results from the Medical Review officer. In the event the second test proves posi- tive or the employee wishes not to have his/her specimen undergo a second testing, four steps would follow:" The policy sets out that an ad- ministrative predetermination meeting with the affected employ- ee at a site away from the employ- ee's normal working area would be held to advise the employee of the test results. The employee would be required to validate the prescrip- tion dosage and based on the em- ployee's overall work history, along with the facts gathered during the predetermination meeting, the de- partment head, after review with the personnel director and approval from the city manager, would ad- vise the employee in writing of the administrative action to be taken in the matter.

Come and Learn the "Achey Breaky" Jane Campbell can 480-8201 "There were just too many at- tributes that make that location a world class site," Hicks said. "They feel like this will be one of the better tire cord plants in the world." Nashville Tenn. based Bridgestone/Firestonc Inc. operates 22 plants in North America. The new Gaston County plant will sup- ply tire cord to the company's own tire-making operations but it will also sell to other international tirc- makers. Plant officials say the 400,000- square foot plant will be built in two phases. A ground-breaking ceremony will be held in mid- September. The company announced earlier this year the aging six story plant plant would be closed and replaced by a modern plant to plant to be built in Gaston County. Hicks said Ramsey was sent to Gastonia in the fall of 1991 to transform the Gastonia operation into a world-class operation. "In a relatively short period of time he's pulled that off," he said. City officials hope Firestone's move will be the first step in a ma- jor industrial park at Crowders Mountain.

The board endorsed all ongoing programs of the former board headed by the retiring director Joc Hendrick and voted to ask the county commission Monday for a budget amendment of $18,650 to fund a travel and tourism survey, a marketing tool to get input from travelers at various events in the county and through a telephone survey of guests staying in area motels during peak travel periods. Among the 100 questions to be asked of 50 people at numerous events will be how the visitors per- ceive their needs in this area and if those needs are being met in the county. | The group also endorsed Carolinas Partnership, a marketing PARKING From Page 1-A Guyton says the road isn't laid out to accommodate parking spaces for cars. organization for 13 counties sur- rounding Mccklenbury.
