NORTH CAROLINA 27510 <br /> ( 19) 92g.2143 <br /> July 8, 1985 <br /> 141 <br /> Don Wilhoit <br /> Health & Safety Department <br /> B-5 Venable Hall 045A <br /> , University of North Carolina <br /> Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 • <br /> Dear Don, <br /> After much investigation and deliberation on the part of the <br /> three major officers of our corporation, we regret to inform you that <br /> we have decided,to move to Alamance County. We have signed an option <br /> : on 40 acres of land, and provided that it perks ok for our type of <br /> operation, we hope to close the deal next week. We need to get <br /> started with our building and due to the limitation of the various <br /> options that were possible to us, we decided we did not want to gamble <br /> $1 million to $1.5 million in new building, not knowing whether or not <br /> we could build anything else in this area of Orange County in the <br /> future. <br /> As 1 told Moses Cry in a luncheon meeting 1 had with him after <br /> our meeting, 1 feel that the Commissioners need to take a very serious <br /> look at what the zoning laws will permit in this county and even more <br /> especially in the stringent limitations it places on our node out here <br /> on Highway 54. Many business people that 1 have talked to consider <br /> this to be the ideal spot for businesses of our type because of the <br /> good highway and the closeness to Chapel Hill. 1 feel that the <br /> Commissioners should seriously look into this problem and consider <br /> rezoning this node, inspite of the fact that we will no longer be <br /> here. Don, I really appreciate the consideration you have given us. <br /> 1 do feel, however, that the way in which the planning department <br /> operates is not in tune with the businessmen of this county. 1 have <br /> heard from quite a few now and they all express the same frustrations <br /> that we express. <br /> Silicerely, • <br /> //22,4■-le---- <br /> Frank Broome <br /> Executive Vice President <br /> FB/jd <br /> cc: Susan J.
