We have tried to be a good corporate citizen and neighbor . <br /> I intend to continue to operate the plant at its present <br /> location. Currently we employ nineteen persons . Our payroll is <br /> approximately $275,000.00 and in 1974 we paid Orange County <br /> approximately $42,000.00 in sales tax based on sales in Orange <br /> County. <br /> I am not asking for this modification of the Land Use Plan <br /> and rezoning in order to expand my business.
