As a result of this study certain conclusions were reachedindustry types, industrial mix, industrial wages, industry size, empl_oyees turnover rates, employees,,,,_skill levels, labor market, employee and employer relations, county and community,facili,ties,`countyindustrial corrdination and planning, selectivity of new industry, location of industrial plants, andpresent industrial policiesThese conclusions indicated a need for establishing a policy based upon all these criteriaregarding the encouragement of new industries which may be interested in locating in Johnston CountyThe Johnston County Planning Board, therefore, recommends as a method of initiating an industrialpolicy, that some type of coordinating agent be establishedpolicyIn considering this, we have come up with four 4 possible alternatives for initiating this1 The county hire a county administrator to handle industrial affairs in addition to otherduties which would normally be assigned2 The county establish an industrial commission and hire a staff person to handle industrialaffairs3 The county hire a staff member to handle industrial development4 The county commissioners appoint an individual to work closely with the planning board andother agencies and organizations in the county in handling industrial mattersThe planning board recommends that the first alternative be given top consideration We feel,however, that selecting one of the above mentioned courses of action should be the first step ininitiating a county wide industrial policyRespectfully submitted,Johnston County Planning BoardNorman B Grantham, ChairmanWilliam SuggM A MorganRobert A TartRobert L HoltThe Board discussed these recommendations at length with Planning Board members, Mr- Norman BGrantham, Chairman, Mr M A Morgan and R L Holt, and advised that the first alternative item # 1would be given top priorityMr Grantham also called to the attention of the Board that funding for planning services forcounties and

the HUD funding level will be reduced across the State and nation by about 25 , and it isimportant, if the Board is interested in this program, to get this application in early, and also thatif the Board does indicate an interest or intent in a grant at this time, it will in no way obligatethem to enter into a contractThe Board of Commissioners indicated an interest in planning services and a
