Committee reports on employment survey

About 2,000 people work in central business district

By Sarah Jane Rosser, Staff Writer

Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Dr. Chris Bramlett, chairman of the Economic Restructuring Committee of Albemarle Downtown Development Corporation (ADDC), reported on an employment survey the committee conducted, finding that more business owners are interested in locating to the central business district.

During Albemarle’s city council meeting Monday, Bramlett revealed that data collected included the name of the business or organization, address, principle activity of the operation and the contact person. Bramlett and his team visited more than 90 percent of those contacted. Businesses surveyed were in the Albemarle Municipal Service District.

The limits were Five Points in the East, railroad tracks at Market Station in the West, Hearne and Old Charlotte Road in the South and Glenn Street in the North. The survey showed that 1,966 people are working within that district. Of those, 1,362 work full-time and 604 are part-time.

Bramlett said those who participated in the survey work in 214 different retail service, governmental, educational, manufacturing, recreational, financial, professional, religious and charitable organizations.

“It was a gratifying experience,” Bramlett said.

“They were real pleased that we took time to take an interest in them.”

This study will also be used in the parking study that is part of the master plan for the downtown area.

In other business, council:

• Approved the closing of streets in downtown Albemarle for the Christmas Parade Dec. 8;

• Passed on second reading Ordinances 08-28 and 08-30. Ordinance 08-28 will allow the city to establish a three-way stop intersection at Pee Dee Avenue and North Ninth Street. Ordinance 08-30 is to establish a Parks and Recreation advisory board;

• Passed on second reading Ordinance 08-29 to establish a four-way stop intersection at Pee Dee Avenue and North Sixth Street. Councilman Jack Neel opposed;

• Appointed Jeff Chance to the historic resources commission and approved all others to be reappointed;

• Appointed Neel to attend regional water and sewer discussions on behalf of the city;

• Heard an update on the city hall project. Everything is going smoothly. A donation of an old teller cage has been made by a resident. The council intends to use the cage if able when the city hall is complete;

• Approved equipment surplus to be sold;

• Set a public hearing for Sept. 2 on the new flood insurance rate and flood ordinance; and

• Set a meeting for final approval on the flood insurance rate and flood ordinance for Sept. 3.
