Re: P1ant Location
Paris Industrial_ Area
Dear Mr, Thampson:
On behalf of the City Council of the City of Paris, I
invite your favorable consideration in choosing our industrial
area as a plant location.
The members of the City Council of the City of Paris have,
by unanimous agreement, authorized me to assure+your company
that a plant location in the Southwest Industrial Area, which
is located outside of the city limits of the City of Paris,
would not be annexed in the event that a plant is located
therein before such plant had been in operat:ion for sevEn (7)
full years. This assurance is offered as an inducement to
your company to locate a plant in our Southwest Industrial
Area, It is my hope that future city governments would favor-
ably consider extending this action.
Your favorable consideration is solicited.
Yours very truly,
BJB/dk
