Development
Board gives
report of work
Dave Morrison, executive sec
retary of the Newberry County
Development 'Board last week
issued the following resume of
last year's activities and ac
complishments of the Board:
The Newberry County De
velopment Board has completed
another successful year, one
that promises to bring in 500
new jobs, creating a sizable
payroll. Add this to our other
new industries developed over
the past four years and we
have 1000 new jobs. This is
quite an accomplishment and
one of which you can all be
justly proud.
In the face of all this suc
cess, we do not intend to sit
back and rest on our laurels,
rather, we envisage continued
orderly growth that will bring
more industry for areas of our
county that have not advanced
with this new prosperity. These
areas have excellent sites, an
abundance of untapped labor
resources and all the other
attributes so necessary to in
dustrial growth.
It is interesting to note the
value in dollars and cents that
Just 100 new factory workers
can impart to a community.
These 100 new employees will
bring in 296 more people: 51
more school children, $270,000
more bank deposits; 4 more
retail establishments; $360,000
more retail sales per year; 112
more households; $590,000
more personal income per year;
107 more passenger cars regis
tered; 174 more workers em
ployed; and $50,000 additional
state taxes. (These figures are
based upon a study made by
the U. S. Chamber of Com
merce.) With statistics like
this, can we afford to slow
down in our endeavor to ob
tain more industry for con
tinued orderly growth ?
We are sure that our mer
chants are reaping the rewards
of these new industries through
increased sales and more pro
fits. You have also noted the
establishment of additional re
tail outlets, specialty stores,
motels, restaurants and serv
ices. More parking facilities
are now available in the down
town areas. Growth is self-evi
dent in all areas of the county.
Our county can continue to
