Mayor Jackson stated the purpose of the special meeting
was to consider the very important matter involving the Electro
Plastic Fabrics Corporation's need of a modern building, chiefly
as a result of the recently disastrous fire. The Town Manager
briefed the group on the developments, as follows: The Company
officials had worked in conjunction with Mr. Burtner of the New
DISCUSSION River Valley Industrial Commission and had learned of the tentative
OF NEED OF
ELECTRO approval of the Small Business Administration whereby that federal
PLASTIC
FOR NEW organization might work with a local development agency and thus
MODERN BLDG.

WITH SMALL BUS.
ADMR. developments the Claremont Corporation had formally offered to
donate a site of almost five (5) acres located just outside of the
corporate limits on the south side of the railroad tracks and just
to the east of Monte Vista Drive extended; that the local officials
of the State Highway Department had made a study of the extension of
Monte Vista Drive from the new Route 611, now under construction,

The Town Manager explained that the next big planning hurdle is a
commitment on the Town water and sewer, and stated that the necessary
water line extension would involve about `19,000.00 including an
extension of a 10" water main from the 12" main on Fast Street, approx-
imately 19,000 feet to Monte Vista Drive, and the installation of
an 8" line from that point to the proposed plant site. It was reported
also that the estimated cost of extending an 8" sanitary sewer line to
the plant site would be $b,000.00. In considering the economics of
ELECTRO
the situation, the Manager pointed out that should this new site be
PLASTIC
FABRICS developed, involving the construction of a building of approximately
50,000 ft. area, with, sprinkler system, the fact that it will be
just outside of the corporate limits would mean a small loss in General
Revenue of personal property taxes which would no longer be paid to
the Town, this being off -set by the fifty (50) percent surcharge on
water and sewer, which latter sum would probably be at least $150.00
per month.
'carious visitors present supplied additional information to
ELECTRO Council particularly regarding the improved financial condition of the
PLASTIC Electro Plastic Fabrics Corporation as well as the details of the
FABRICS participation on the part of the Small Business Administration. All
CONTINUED expressed firm hope that necessary funds could be raised locally as
well as the importance of Council;Is reaching an early decision on how'
much of the $24,000.00 water and sewer installation cost would be borne
by the Town of Pulaski.
