St. Pauls/Robeson County I-95 Industrial Park Sewer Extension

Organization:

Town of St. Pauls

Amount:

$504,993.47

Program Area:

Community Assistance Initiative

County of Applicant:

Robeson

Year:

2010

Description:

With this grant, the Town of St. Pauls will extend public sewer, the last infrastructure needed, to the St. Pauls/Robeson County I-95 Industrial Park. Due to its location, it is believed that the Park is poised to capture a portion of the jobs and investment coming to the area as a result of facility expansion at Fort Bragg. The Park is located one mile from the I-95 exit on Highway NC 20, which has access to I-74 and NC87. The Town has a letter of intent from a company stating its intention to relocate to the Park and create 15 jobs. The Robeson County Economic Development Commission is working to construct a 15,000 sq ft spec building and bring additional investment to the Park. Short-term goals include the creation of 15 jobs, an increase in investment money from base realignment efforts at Fort Bragg, an increase in the local manufacturing base and an increase in the local tax base for further economic development.
