220711 Closed Session Economic Development
Closed Session Î Ramseur Ï July 11, 2022
The Board was already convened in closed session pursuant to NCGS 143-318.11(a)(4) to
discuss matters relating to the location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the area
served by the public body, including agreement on a tentative list of economic development
incentives that may be offered by the public body in negotiations. Chairman Darrell Frye, Vice-
Chairman David Allen, Commissioner Kenny Kidd, Commissioner Maxton McDowell, and
Commissioner Hope Haywood were present. Also present from the County were County Manager
Hal Johnson, Assistant County Manager/Finance Officer Will Massie, County Attorney Ben
Morgan, Associate County Attorney Aimee Scotton, Deputy Clerk Sarah Pack, and Clerk to the
Board Dana Crisco. Present from Randolph County Economic Development Corporation (EDC)
were President Kevin Franklin and Business Recruitment Director Crystal Gettys.
Ms. Gettys said that a company is currently looking at property in the Ramseur, Staley, and
Liberty areas. It would bring 113 employees and possibly add 77 more. They have found a
potential site in Ramseur, but it is not served by water and sewer. If chosen, this could be a $4-5
million investment to Randolph County.
Discussion on this topic ended to address another economic development project in Closed
Session.
