Hodges Sees New Industry for North Carolina
Gov. Hodges says a large new industry could come to eastern North Carolina within three months if the corporate income tax allocation formula is revised. A company has options on land in NC and two other states and would be one of the state's largest concerns. He notes Eastern NC has unused labor and says details on costs are withheld to avoid propaganda. He also spoke of reorganizing the State Highway Commission for a more businesslike approach and announced a $210,000 highway surplus project on U S 221 relocating a two mile stretch from Blowing Rock to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
