Pick of the day: Developments in the local economy


Seeing as how Monday was the day we celebrated labor by taking a day off, it seems appropriate that the day after could bring some news to help people get back to laboring. An announcement is set for 11 a.m. at Vance-Granville Community College about a Team Vance grant for job retraining for some of the people who lost manufacturing jobs this year. And the Vance County Board of Commissioners could be asked to approve a package of incentives during its 6 p.m. meeting to encourage a retail development. Whether the resulting jobs would be worth the incentives is another matter.
