Selection of locations is highly competitive. Quite often the locality is expected to provide some assistance. Some years ago when industry began to move south, many towns vied with each other in extravagant offers. Firms seeking new locations now are looking more carefully at the natural advantages, secondarily considering local offers of financial nature. However, manu facturers quite often desire locally provid ed housing for their employees, or financi al backing in securing a suitable building. The Herald suggests that the business men interested in locating additional in dustry in Farmville organize a development company with a constituted board of direo tors and officers. Sufficient capital could be paid in or pledged to promote and develop the local potentialities. An inform al group, the Chamber of Commerce or town officials can and have served as point of contact for industrial survey and promotion but an organization constituted for the purpose, with financial standing is ulti mately necessary to effect the location of a plant. Past experience will bear this out. A practical step would be to organize the development company first and then pro mote the advantages of Farmville. One or two well-adapted industrial plants would be desirable.
