Colvin News Davidson board hears economic plan by Courtney Price courtney@huntersvilleherald.com Davidson is gearing up to attract more business and to study parking downtown, the Economic Development Department told the Board of Commissioners Tuesday night, Sept. 28. Downtown Manager Sandy Lemons gave a presentation to the board showing economic growth from 2009 to 2010. According to her presentation, the number of jobs, businesses and total occupied commercial space increased in downtown Davidson and at Exit 30. Final numbers were not available. “So much of it is market-driven. We can’t tell people we want more offices or fewer convenience stores,” Kris Krider, Davidson’s economic development manager said. But, he said, the market can affect what types of businesses the town tries to recruit. Commissioner Connie Wessner noted that the presentation detailed statistics, but not what plans would stem from those numbers. She pressed the development team to figure out the best way to use the collected data for further planning. That plan, could come from an Economic Advisory Council, which Krider recommended after presenting the economic numbers. The council would be comprised of public officials and private stakeholders who would review economic growth and devise plans for further development based on the collected data. “What is it that we’re seeking and what are the numbers we’d like to see? I don’t think we’re there yet,” Krider said. “What are the town’s goals, what are our economic development goals?” These are questions the stakeholder group would likely be answering, he said. Krider said that, as part of the downtown development, the parking consultant firm Rich & Associates will conduct a parking study of downtown Davidson, starting in about a month. The study will look at existing and potential parking, survey residents and merchants and watch for typical parking behavior. The study will determine whether there is a parking problem in Davidson, and if so, how the town could correct it. The draft results of the study should be presented to the board in the first part of 2011. q An office of John T.

Refugees (continued from page 5) Connecting you to important local news and events. www.huntersvilleherald.com he said. “We’ve had 8-, 10-, 15-year-old children arriving in this country unable to read and write.” Community in Christ’s Associate Pastor Travis Norton sees ministering through the program as following Jesus’ own example of servanthood. “Just as Jesus knelt down and washed the disciples’ feet, Christians should kneel down in service to others,” Norton said. The children have “a great desire to take advantage of the American dream,” but face obstacles, he said. “Besides the language gap, they get beat up at school,” he said. “They live in dangerous neighborhoods, where they feel like prisoners in their own homes.” Edmondson helped remove some of those obstacles for 15-year-old Van Kpa. Because of bullying, Kpa was afraid to attend school. Through a scholarship, he now attends Charlotte Catholic High School and lives in a safer neighborhood with Edmondson, a retired attorney and former teacher, during the week. “He is currently a happy kid doing well in his classes and playing on the JV football team,” Edmondson said. “My home offers him a quiet space to do his studying.” Children like Kpa are excelling in school as a result of the tutoring program. Last year, each child in the program advanced to the next grade, which is a great feat for children attending schools where only 18 percent of students pass minimum standards, Major said. “These children are bright and eager to learn,” he said. “The highlight of the program is watching a young mind open to the world around them, watching them gain confidence and watching how grateful and appreciative they are.” Initially the Majors and Edmondson met with the children in their Charlotte neighborhoods, but they decided to meet in another location to attract more volunteers. Charlotte’s ImaginOn children’s library opened its doors to the program last year, but because of the library system’s funding limitations, the tutoring has now moved to Huntersville’s North County Regional Library. The program quickly grew to approximately 35 children each week. Forty volunteers helped run the program last year, but Major still had to turn students away. “I don’t do that well,” he said. “That’s hard.” The school-year tutoring began again Sept. 20. Volunteers work with children in 90-minute shifts, arriving anywhere between 6 and 7 p.m. each Monday. Tutoring consists of listening to children read and helping them with their homework. “It’s simple yet very effective,” Major said. “We have tutors from age 10 to 89. Anyone in between these ages and can read qualifies.” Major explained that some adult volunteers bring their children to help tutor. “These parents tell us how much this has helped their own children to have an insight into how much of the rest of the world lives, to understand different cultures and to instill in (them) the spirit of giving,” he said. News Major hopes more volunteers will come forward to make a difference in the lives of these refugees. Besides tutors, the program needs drivers to take students to the library; volunteers to deliver donated food, clothing and furniture for the families; Boy Scout leaders for a new Montagnard troop; chaperones for field trips; and someone to set up appointments for Medicaid applications. The needs of the refugees are many, but Major is confident God will provide. “The Lord still delivers his people,” he said. “I am firmly convinced (He) brought these people halfway around the world for us to minister to.” q On October 3rd We’re Celebrating Life Cancer Survivors Celebration Sunday, October 3, 2010, 2-5 p.m. Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville, 10030 Gilead Road Cancer survivors of all ages are invited to bring their family and friends as we celebrate life at Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville’s annual Cancer Survivors Celebration.
