PRESENTATION(S) Martin County Economic Development Corporation (EDC) Recently hired EDC President/CEO Jason Semple is no stranger to Martin County. President/CEO Semple worked with Martin County EDC in the past, only in a different capacity with EDC. With the additional experience and knowledge obtained while he worked in Martin County as well as other locations, Mr. Semple will be a great asset to Martin County economic development. During the presentation, President/CEO Semple described the role of the economic developer as follows: Serve as face for the community; Lead efforts to recruit new companies and help existing companies grow and expand; Collaborate and coordinate efforts of the Team ; and Offer comprehensive facility location services from initial contact through site location to future growth and expansion. President/CEO Semple stated in 2013, the Department of Commerce listed the top five (5) important factors an industry/business will consider before entering into a business relationship with an area: incentives, availability of skilled labor, low union profile/right-to-work state, occupancy and construction and labor costs. However, according to Site Selection Magazine in January 2013, consultants stated the two main factors which helped to close the deal were customized incentives and an existing skilled workforce. Chairman Smith commented on the priceless value of being able to make available the training to students that will provide them with the skills to enter the workforce. In cooperation with
3 Martin Community College, Martin County Schools is offering students training that will equip them with workforce skills that will prepare them to enter the job market as soon as completing high school or to enter undergraduate study at a higher level. The Northeast Regional School of Biotechnology and Agriscience (NERSBA) continues to do the same. Additionally, Martin County Schools has a vision to expand upon its current career readiness curriculum by creating a 21 st Century Career-Technical Center for 11 th and 12 th graders. Martin County School representatives plan to tour the Vernon Malone and Career Academy in Raleigh, on Wednesday, October 7, 2015, along with other county officials. Many of the commonly used incentives that require little or no funding match from local government agencies are: One North Carolina Fund JDIG (Jobs Development Investment Grant) [HB 117 has been ratified by the General Assembly. Once Governor McCrory signs the bill, approximately 10% or 25 % will be withheld for the Utility Fund for infrastructure projects in Tier 1 counties] Local economic development agreements/tax breaks Infrastructure Grants water, sewer, natural gas Building Reuse Programs Community College Customized Training Program Rail Access Program Access Road Program Foreign Trade Zone NC Commerce Fellows Program Training Available County Manager Bone gave a summary of webinar training available to the county and municipalities based on the County s participation in the NC Commerce Fellows Program. The North Carolina Department of Commerce Commerce Fellows/Building Community through Capacity and Knowledge Grant has granted funding for tuition and lodging for eight seats in five in-person School of Government courses as well as four online training series. County Manager Bone stated Martin County is making online seminars and training available to all elected officials and municipal employees in Martin County. In order to maximize the benefit of the training, a schedule has been established for the first series Open Meetings Law. This would give participant an opportunity to gather together, participate in the training and have some discussion afterwards (if desired). Each session should last for about two hours. If participation goes well with the Open Meetings series, joint sessions will be scheduled for the other webinars, as well. Mid-East Commission Update The Mid-East Commission serves the counties of Beaufort, Bertie, Hertford, Martin, & Pitt as well as local municipalities.
