Fayetteville's Project Vermilion shows another path to growth | Opinion

The same night Fayetteville City Council voted to schedule a public hearing on a data center moratorium , which has been debated by the council and members of the public for months — it held a public hearing on a different kind of industrial project. There were no speakers from the public for the hearing, and not a lot of council discussion afterward. Council members Nov. 9 heard a report from the city-county economic development team about the city’s pursuit of a company that makes brushless motors. The effort is code-named Project Vermillion, and the company says it would create 104 jobs, paying an average wage of $65,000. The city and county are competing against Georgia for a project that would also be eligible for North Carolina grant funding. The vote Monday authorized further action to try to land the company. The county is scheduled to hold its public hearing on the project at its Nov. 16 meeting, according to a public notice. Witnessing the City Council’s quick, purposeful action on the motor manufacturer company is a reminder that when it comes to large-scale economic development opportunities, data centers are not the only fish in the sea.

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel

Cumberland County school board election winners outline what's next

Eight of the nine Cumberland County Board of Education members will have professional experience in education when two newly elected members take their seats in December. Tom Hatch and Broxie Pone, both former educators, will join incumbent Jacquelyn Brown, who won reelection Nov. 3 . As Hatch and Pone prepare to join Brown to serve on a board facing decisions about school closures, student achievement and district finances, all three have outlined priorities that include improving school facilities, addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting teachers and staff. During the Nov. 3 election, Hatch received 26,038 votes, incumbent Board Vice Chair Brown received 22,240, and Pone received 20,680, according to unofficial results. The election was for three at-large seats. Brown held one, while the other two became vacant after Board Chair Judy Musgrave died in June and Greg West chose not to seek reelection so he could run for the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners. Hatch and Pone are former educators, while Brown worked for Cumberland County Schools for nearly 30 years as an assistant teacher and administrative assistant. Other board members whose seats were not up for reelection include Dr. Mary Hales, a retired Cumberland County Schools administrator; Delores Bell, who

Johnston County’s Scholarship Nonprofit Is Only the First Step Toward Federal Tax-Credit Aid

Johnston County’s school board has authorized district administrators to form a nonprofit for the new federal Education Freedom Tax Credit. The action creates a possible route for donations and scholarship awards; it does not provide money or establish that scholarships are ready to be distributed. Before families can receive aid through the program, an organization must meet federal requirements and be included on North Carolina’s approved list.
