J <br /> ' (#�mstrong <br /> May 3, 1995 <br /> Chairman Moses Carey <br /> Orange County Commissioners <br /> P. 0. Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Chairman Carey: <br /> Armstrong World Industries, Inc. , is interested in locating a plant in Orange <br /> County near Mebane and is currently evaluating the feasibility of the building <br /> previously occupied by Chock Full O'Nuts on Oakwood Street Extension. <br /> The proposed plant would manufacture film pipe insulation. In addition, this <br /> facility would employ approximately 100-110 employees by the end of our first <br /> year of operation. The Company's investment at this location would be in excess <br /> of $8 million. <br /> In an effort to improve the utility services to the facility, Duke Power has <br /> offered to replace existing electrical transformers and discuss with us an <br /> "incentive rate" for power. Public Service Company of North Carolina has also <br /> offered to extend a larger gas line supply line to the plant, if necessary. <br /> In order for us to meet our insurance requirements in regard to sprinkler <br /> coverage, we are requesting that Orange County fund a water booster pump or <br /> water pressure station to help us meet our required fire protection standards. <br /> Estimated costs for a water booster pump range from $75,000-$100,000. <br /> Mr. Chairman, we thank you for considering our request and hope that you will <br /> act favorably on it. <br /> For your information, I have enclosed our 1994 Annual Report for Armstrong World <br /> Industries. If you have any additional questions, please contact me at <br /> 717/396-3211. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> E. Gary Nentwig <br /> Manager <br /> Real Estate Department <br /> CAB <br /> Enclosures <br /> Armstrong World Industries, Inc. PO. Box 3001 Lancaster Pennsylvania 17604 717-397-0611 <br />
