• NC rural grants total $1.6M, promise 215 new jobs (carolinajournal.com) — A state rural infrastructure grant is helping fund a 25,000-square-foot expansion of a Belmont building occupied by De Palo Foods, tied to 30 new jobs and over $8 million in investment. The project is part of $1.6 million in statewide rural grants, though some critics question whether such economic development incentives are a good use of taxpayer money.
