ing together players in the non-profit
community development industry in
North Carolina and review the status
and impact of non-profit community
development corporations over the
last three years. Another goal was
projecting and planning for stabiliza
tion of the non-profit community
development industry by involving
the community development corpora
tions, state intermediary organiza
tions and private lenders.
“All the participants agreed they
were enlightened by the comprehen
siveness of the non-profit CDCs,”
Rasheed continues, “and their ability
to do something with low-income and
minority pouplations.” He adds, for
profit community development cor
porations are owned by banks or are
; duly held. Non-profit CDCs are
grassroots organizations receiving
funding from state and local govern
ments, foundations, or other private
sources.
Current CDC activity includes
housing construction in Greenville
and Henderson, downtown revitaliza
tion projects completed or underway
in Asheville and Rocky Mount, and
microenterprise development in
Durham, Hollister and Wilson. Pro
ject development is underway in
Raleigh, Wilmington and Winston
Salem.
Summary findings of the con
ference have been prepared by con
sultant Doris Williams. The findings
will inform the General Assembly,
state and local government agencies
and private sector participants to
help them determine how to support
the work of non-profit community
development corporations for the
next three to 10 years.
RUN-OFF LAWS

that we’ve seen, but that doesn't
mean it will be a trend,” said
Michaux.
Michaux, who is black, is often
cited as a victim of the law, losing to
Tim Valentine in the second primary
for U.S. Congress in 1962.
’ There were a lot of unusual factors
in the Gantt-Easley primary,
Michaux said.
‘‘Harvey was sort of a tried and
tested individual and maybe Mike
wasn’t,” he said. “And a lot of people
thought that whoever it [the
nominee] was, Helms was going to
beat him.”
Hunt said another factor might
have been strategic voting by
Democrats who support Helms.
“I know there has been some
■ discussion that one factor in Harvey’s
■ big win in the second primary was
that Helms’ supporters voted for
■ what they perceived to be a weaker
• candidate,” Hunt said. “They were
wanting to nominate someone who
they thought might give Helms a
weaker opponent in the fall.
“I don’t know about that, but I
know it has been discussed.”
“That’s probably true,” said
Michaux. “Those Democrats who
were going to vote for Helms anyway
were going to take the person they
thought was most vulnerable.”
‘ Michaux said the Democratic Par
ty has staked itself out in favor of
repealing the second primary law.
But Sen. Herbert Hyde, D-Buncombe,
chairman of the state party, declined
to say whether that would spell vic
tory for the bill in the Democratic
controlled legislature.

'General Assembly will do,” he said.
