LEDA Gives Lincoln County a Check for $253,694

The First Lot in the Airlie Business Park is Sold

Lincolnton, NC – At the recent Lincoln Economic Development Association (LEDA) Board Meeting, Lincoln County officials were presented two checks totaling $253,694. Tom Anderson, LEDA Chair, presented the checks and reminded everyone that LEDA’s work provides income to the governments and residents in the community. The money was distributed from the sale of the first lot in the Airlie Business Park at Ingleside to Hydac Technology Corporation.

George Wood, county manager, accepted the first check for $100,000 that will complete the transaction of LEDA purchasing the convenience site off Optimist Club Road from the County. In the future, the convenience site will be relocated and the land will become a part of the Airlie Business Park.

George Arena, county commissioner, accepted the second check for $153,694 to repay the County for a portion of the infrastructure costs for the park. A combination of grants and money borrowed by the County are being used to develop the park. As lots are sold, the County will be paid back.

Hydac, a German company, plans to start on a 60,000 square foot advanced manufacturing facility this fall for their US cooling systems operation.
