A respected Stanly County business leader is speaking out in support of Alcoa's effort to recruit new jobs to Stanly County and obtain a new federal license for the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project.
Dick Storm, CEO of Storm Technologies in Albemarle, sent a letter to Inside Stanly and the Stanly News and Press outlining why he supports Alcoa.
He highlights the high unemployment rate in Stanly County and the availability of the Badin site as the best industrial site in the region. "Alcoa is sincerely trying to rejuvenate industry in Badin," Storm writes. "If they are not able to relicense the Hydropower facilities, not only does Stanly County appear 'Anti-Industry' but no one else is better equipped to provide economic development."
The 450 high-paying jobs that Clean Tech Silicon & Bar will bring to Badin if an agreement can be reached could transform Stanly County."Most important to me, the Citizens of our County will be able to improve their incomes and employment opportunities," Storm says.
