In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Seal of Newberry county. This first day of December 1967. WALTER HAMM, President, Newberry County Municipal Asoociation. County native is engineer for “New City” A leading Columbia Architect- Engineering - Planning firm— Jones and Fellers—has been selected as design consultants in the downtown redevelopment of Rockville, Md., an historic suburb of Washington, D. C. Jones and Fellers has been sel ected to develop the urban de sign of the multi-million dollar project in coordination with the New York firm of McMillin- Griffis-Mileto. One of the firm’s partners, Robert H. (Bobby) Fellers, is the son of Mrs. D. O. Carpen ter of this city. The Rockville project, for all practical purposes, amounts to the remaking of a city. Plans for the mid-city area call for the demolition of about ninety per cent of the buildings and the elimination or re-routing of many streets, making it possi ble to create a new environ ment in the historic town cen ter. In strengthening the core of the city to better serve its cit izens, Rockville’s planners have been careful to preserve the character of the old areas of the city. An important design feature will separate pedestrian and all vehicle movement within the area. It is to be designed so that pedestrians walk along open or covered paths, green- ways and shopping arcades. Vehicles will entei F through a series of external streets au3 Newberry Inn to expand McMaster Enterprises, own ers of the Newberry Inn and Newberry Inn Restaurant, an nounced today plans for an. ex pansion project which is cur rently underway. The announce ment, made through the New berry County Development Board, made public the plans for the expansion of the res taurant and addition to the Inn. When completed, the Restau rant will feature a large 300- guest banquet room, two small er private dining rooms with the latest restaurant and food preparation machines. Additions to the Newberry Inn will consist of a new-40- unit masonry motel. The two- story structure, which will be located adjacent to the present Inn, will be built by Wylie Con struction company of Rock Hill. With this addition, the Inn will have a total of 80 units. Within the addition there will be four executive suites and two meeting rooms which will accommodate groups of under 50. Target date for the comple tion of the Inn has been set at June 1, while the restau rant additions will be com pleted by September 1. In announcing the project, Q. M. M.cMaster, President, McMaster Enterprises, said “I have been pleased with the re ception the Newberry Inn and Restaurant have received from the people of Newberry coun ty. This patronage has served as encouragement to us for the announcements today.” Adding further, Mr. McMas ter said, “We are happy to have ben able to seucre our financing through local institu tions who have demonstrated their confidence in our expan sion plans. To show our ap preciation for this confidence we shall endeavor to serve the people of Newberry county in a versitile way by providing fine food and an attractive at mosphere. ” In conclusion, Mr. McMaster ,sair, “It is our hope that we will have a facility that will be an asset to the people of New berry ebunty. ” HAVE COVERED DISH SUPPER The Lucy Epps Bible Class of Central Methodist church will have a covered dish sup per and quarterly meeting in the Fellowship hall at 6:30 p.m. Friday, December 8. overpasses to parking areas, without having to cross pedes trian routes. Board pleased with success of Motel The Newberry County Devel opment Board is indeed pleased to have had a part in the es tablishment and success of the Newberry Inn and Restaurant. We are even more pleased to join McMaster Enterprises in announcing plans for a consid erable increase in plant size, both for motel accommodations and additional banquet and ser vice rooms in the restaurant. These additional modern facili ties will do much to enhance and fill a need long existing within our county. With the continued growth of Newberry county, there is an ever increasing need for meeting rooms for sales and banquet space. It is good to have an organization such as McMaster Enterprises which has and is aware that these facilities are essential to a healthy business climate. The Interstate Highway sys tem is doing much to improve highway travel. In Newberry County’s particular case, this road is doing much to enhance our position commercially, in dustrially, and tourist-wise. This is one of the few excep tional motel-restaurants be tween Columbia and Greenville- Spartanburg. Certainly the popularity of this establishment is just beginning. Upon com pletion of 1-26 in North Caro lina, this interstate will have a tie-in with Mid-West traffic going North and South. Travel will increase tremendously at this time and tourist accommo dations will be even more in demand . This is another step in New berry County’s constant en deavor to make our communi ties more attractive to indus try, business and tourism. With the continued efforts of firms such as McMaster Enterprises and others in our county and state, including our good peo ple, Newberry County will continue to grow and improve its position in the South and nation. Our best wishes for the con tinued successful operation of Newberry Inn and Restaurant.
