Incentive grants approved 0 ELIZABETH STEWART i Herald Correspondent Parker Hannifan will bring 90 new jobs to Kings Mountain’ with construction of its new pump gear plant on Canterbury Road and its investment of Se. million in the economy. Ultra Machine & Fabrication, located in the former Dana-Wix Building, plans a capital invest- ment at its Kings Mountain site 5 that would allow trucks loaded’ with completed armored vehi- cles to exit onto Marie Street and alleviate the traffic problems that cause considerable waste of workers and transporters time. © City Council Tuesday night awarded an industrial incentive’ grant of $45,000 to Ultra Machine and $268,500 to Parker’ Hannifan, each pro-rated over a’ five year period. Grant distribu- tions do not exceed the amount’ of Kings Mountain property’ taxes paid by the firms. Economic development took center stage at the monthly Council meeting as the majority of agenda items featured zoning and building issues, which required public hearings, and all of which the Planning & Zoning Board had recommend- ed for approval. With request for rezoning approved, Faunce Realty plans to start construction of 84 new residences on Ruppe Street which include a 36 unit apart- ment complex for the elderly and six apartment buildings with eight units each in a market rate complex. Council also expanded the downtown incentive grant area to include King Street that’s eli- gible for facade grants. The new, policy will assist revitalization of more of the downtown area east and west of King and south a short distance on Battleground Avenue. Both facade treatments and murals would be eligible for a 50-50 grant. : After a public hearing, Council approved changing a number of parcels from multi- family and neighborhood busi- ness to residential-6 on request of Laura Fannin and her neigh- bors, Joe and Mary Tesseneers and Kenneth Kitzmiller, all say-: ing they want to keep their’ neighborhood intact. John Queen said he, bought property: in the area to put up a muffler shop. With opposition from: neighbors he says he wants to: sell his property to recoup his, investment.
