TOWN OF GARNER WINS SPACE WARDS
On January 31, 2008,
Mayor Ronnie Williams
of the Town of Garner
and Alice Johnson, Vice
President of Government
and Public Affairs for
Butterball, accepted the SPACE Award from a Triangle
Business Journal. The SPACE Award was presented
to the Town of Garner in the category of
Economic Development for New Industry for the
location of Butterball, LLC to Greenfield North Industrial
Park near the intersection of I?40 and
Highway 70.
“We are excited about the opportunity for the Butterball
project to be a springboard to help recruit
our next corporate headquarters and this award
helps generate positive views of Garner,” said Hardin
Watkins, Garner Town Manager.
All new economic development projects in the
Triangle were evaluated by a panel of six judges
from the Triangle Business Journal in consideration
for this award. The winning project had to be new
to the area and committed to in 2007. Once the
projects met those two characteristics they were
judged on creation of new jobs, new investments,
and cooperation between state and local governments
with site selection.
Butterball, LLC has committed to build a $12 million
corporate headquarters developed by Craig
Davis Properties that will bring 100 to 150 management
level jobs to Garner by mid?2008. In return
for this investment, the Town Board of Aldermen
committed $100,750 in economic development
incentives. Butterball, LLC broke ground on
the headquarters in August 2007.
“Butterball brings new jobs, new taxes, and the
promise of plans to re?invest in the community by
supporting our area clubs, churches, and Town
organized events. They have already demonstrated
their support for several events,” said Garner
Mayor Ronnie Williams.
