Area Redevelopment Loans Will
Provide Jobs for Many in State
ATLANTA — Area Redevelop
ment loans from the Federal
Government to Georgia counties
— some pending and some ap
proved — will provide more than
a thousand new jobs for Geor
gians, Governor Vandiver’s of
fice has revealed.
A report released Saturday
shows that loans are pending in
Washington for a wide variety of
employment — boosting projects
— ranging from construction of
a mountain resort to development
of new, improved products of the
Georgia peach.
Grants totaling $2,834,281 are
now either approved or pending,
the report says. They will be ap
plied to various projects costing
a total of $3,901,175.
New employment created by
the projects will be 1,190, the re
port adds.
“And that is the whole pic
ture,” said Vincent Jones, As
sistant Director of the Georgia
Department of Commerce. “We
are processing new applications
almost every day.”
The Commerce Department has
been designated by Governor
Vandiver as the processing a
gency for Area Redevelopment.
There are 64 Georgia counties
designated by the national ad
ministration as redevelopment
areas. Os these, 43 have submit
ted overall development plans —
the first step toward receiving
grants or loans — and 38 of the
plans have already been approv
ed on the national level.

Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.
received a loan of $260,000 and a
grant of $76,730 to aid in develop
ing industrial areas.
Eight additional counties have
applications pending for loans
or grants, several of which are
expected to be approved soon.
The pending applications are
for projects in Barrow, Carroll,
Jefferson, Lee, Polk, Toombs,
Towns, Union, and White Coun
ties.
In most cases where the pro
ject is a public facility, such as
an industrial park, the ARA
makes a 100 per cent grant. In
the case of a particular industry,
a loan is made to cover part of
the initial investment.
The State at large has an ap
plication pending for a grant of
more than $97,000 for a peach
product study, now being con
ducted at the Georgia Experi
ment Station in Griffin. One pro
duct already developed from the
study is a peach concentrate,
which was introduced by Gover
nor Vandiver to European indus
trialists during the just-complet
ed European Trade Mission.
Counties are designated as re
development areas on the basis of
a number of criteria, such as per
sistent unemployment and below
average median incomes.
Concerning the ARA program,
Governor Vandiver has said, “By
taking advantage of loans and
grants under various federal pro
grams, the administration has
been able to bring hundreds of
thousands of dollars into the
state which otherwise would not
have been available.”
Cason Jr., president of the
Quarterman Street PTA of Way
cross gave the response.
Mr. J. Holly lead the PTA
members singing “America” and
the American favorite “Star
Spangle-Banner.”
