LOCAL BUSINESS -  Hyco Rental available for long term rental – if you have a need for a rental on Hyco Lake or know someone who is looking, click this link for more info.  I’ve seen several Force Protection people in town so they may be looking for somewhere to stay!

The lot being worked on beside DreamWorks Motorsports on the Blvd we hear is going to have O’Reilly’s Auto Parts and Pizza Hut as tenants.  There’s a major underground culvert there so that is the reason for all the excavation and piping.

Integro Earth Fuels announces their new plant to be located in Person County.  The plant will manufacture fuel from bio products like tree bark and grass to be burned at power plants such as the ones in Person County.  Read more about Integro at this link. This is a “carbon neutral” process will make use of renewable energy sources.

The Person County Tax Office and Register of Deeds has moved into their new building across the street from the Courthouse.  Formerly known as the Maxway building in Uptown Roxboro, they now have a real nice place so remember that when you have a need from their offices.  They also have a drop box out front.

 

Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour Saturday night as we switch to Eastern Standard Time.

 

Also, winterize your boat as the nightly lows are getting below freezing.  Unhook those water hoses from the house.  Get your heating systems checked out.  Close off any vents and windows.  Set those thermostats around 60 to keep pipes from freezing this winter or you’ll have a mess!
