Box 25201 <br /> Raleigh, NC 27611 <br /> Dear Mr. Grabarek, <br /> As Director of the Orange County Economic Development, I <br /> write to you in support of the application being submitted <br /> for funding of a rail industrial access track for Builder's <br /> Supply and Lumber, an industrial project strongly considering <br /> locating in Orange County, North Carolina. <br /> The project is anticipated to make a $5, 000,000 investment in <br /> the community and employ 100 area citizens. The land on <br /> which they intend to locate is on East Washington Street <br /> (SR 1303 ) in the City of Mebane's extra-territorial planning <br /> jurisdiction, and is zoned Heavy Industrial (M-1) . Directly <br /> across East Washington Street are rail lines owned by North <br /> Carolina Railroad, with rail freight service provided by <br /> Norfolk Southern Railroad. <br /> The application from Builder's Supply and Lumber will reflect <br /> a request for 50% funding for the project. The Orange County <br /> Economic Development Commission staff supports the project, <br /> and will approach the Orange County Board of County <br /> Commissioners to pass a Resolution supporting the project at <br /> their first meeting in June. I will forward that Resolution <br /> of Support as soon as possible. <br /> Please call if I may answer any additional questions about <br /> this reauest. Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ted Abernathy, ,Director <br /> ORANGE COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION <br /> POST OFFICE BOX 1177 • HILLSBOROUGH,NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br /> (919)732-8181 (919)968-4501 (919)688-7331 (919)227-2031 FAX(919)644-3008 <br />
