Washington’s City Council is scheduled to consider approving economic-development incentives during its meeting Monday.

The proposed $90,000 would go Spinrite Service Inc. and Spinrite Acquisition Corp. to assist in upgrading the former Caron International craft-yarn manufacturing plant in the city, according to a city document. The $90,000 would come from transfers from the city’s general fund ($45,000), water fund ($22,500) and sewer fund ($22,500).

A public hearing on the matter is set for 6 p.m.

Spinrite is a yarn manufacturer based in Canada. Earlier this year, it received an $180,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund to help it expand its operations in North Carolina, a move that would create 90 jobs in Beaufort County over the next three years and lead to a $9.1 million investment over that same time period in the local plant, according to previous reports.

In late 2011, the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners voted to allocate $90,000 in county funds for the project.

Those incentives were a key part of Spinrite’s decision to choose Washington over other alternatives, a Spinrite executive said.

In other business, the council is scheduled to consider approving an agreement with the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center and a performance-and-loan agreement with Weir Valves and Controls USA regarding a building-retrofit grant.

“Weir Valve is upgrading its facility in order to retool for a new product line. The total project is estimated to be approximately $999,977, and will result in 82 new jobs at the Washington plant. The City of Washington, with assistance from the Mid-East Commission, applied for and received a grant through the Rural Development Center, Inc. for a grant of $410,000,” reads a memorandum from City Manager Josh Kay to Mayor Archie Jennings and the council. “Weir Valve(s) will provide the majority of the match through construction costs ($569,477) and the City of Washington will provide $20,500 to pay for administrative and management services for the grant.”

“Should Weir Valve(s) not create the jobs, they would be required to pay back the grant (via the enclosed performance/loan agreement and promissory note),” continues the memorandum.

The facility improvements will accommodate production of new high-pressure flow equipment for the oil and gas industry, according to the Rural Center.
