Our project involves the construction of critical infrastructure <br /> improvements that would enable Morinaga America Foods,Inc.to establish its first U.S.production facility in <br /> Orange County. The plant would be located in the City of Mebane and the company will commit to investing <br /> up to $48 million to build the new facility in the community, and will create sustainable jobs for low and <br /> moderate income(LMI)persons. <br /> This project is a good fit for eligibility under the Economic Development Program since it will significantly <br /> expand the economic opportunities available in this community, and may even serve as a catalyst for growth and <br /> attraction in this industry sector. <br /> We appreciate the opportunity afforded to us by the Department of Commerce's CDBG to apply, and we look <br /> forward to hearing from you regarding our project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> I <br /> ' I <br /> Barry Jacobs, <br /> Chair, Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> I <br /> WWW CO.ORANGE NC.US <br /> PROTECTINGAND PRESERVING—PEOPLE,RESOURCES, QUALITY OF LIFE <br /> ORANGE COUNTY,NORTH CAROLINA—YOU COUNT' <br /> (9 19)245-2130• FAX(919)644-0246 <br />
