Power company factor in developing community
An article argues the sale of Rutherford's public utilities plants will boost Forest City through Duke Power Company advertising. It notes Duke Power spends about two million annually, promoting Piedmont North Carolina to industrial leaders. The campaigns helped Mt Airy obtain three large enterprises, adding nearly a million dollars to its payroll, and Rutherford County is seen as an ideal site for multiple NC industries.
