3.  I received news on Friday that Winter Properties will not be using funds allocated by the Commission for the renovation of Highland Park Manufacturing Company Plant No. 3.  This is good news, because it makes more money available for the HLC's revolving fund.

6.  Peter Pappas of Pappas Properties will be presenting an update on marketing strategies for the Charlotte Cotton Mills.
