Farm Factory Site 15 Sought in McDowell County
Congresssman John Kee visited Welch to discuss a federal farm factory project for McDowell County under the subsistence homestead division. The plan envisions 250 small homes at about $2000 each with five acres per home, a government school, and a small factory to employ locals, with costs possibly exceeding $50,000 to $60,000 in construction. The settlement would be self governing with New England town meeting style administration and require at least 1000 acres. Interested parties may contact Kee or notify local officials.
