Industry Hunt Called Success
Gov. Sanford hailed the recent industry hunting trip to Ohio Valley cities as a record success with at least three new plants expected in North Carolina soon. A preliminary report shows 88 companies are interested in locating plants here, surpassing the 67 prospects from the 1960 New York trip. Sanford noted potential plans on freedom riders and highway fund allocations while promising action if year end surplus permits reallocations to highway priorities. He also said he would address the Madison County firing of Mars Hill principal Ralph Neill Jr. after evaluating the situation.
