Spirit AeroSystems on Wednesday promised to bring 1,031 jobs and $570.5 million in investment to this rural region in Eastern North Carolina. But its significance could go beyond numbers. The state's top politicians expect the aviation company, lured with more than $180 million in incentives, to validate a government project long criticized as a boondoggle and propped up for almost two decades with taxpayer money. Spirit, which makes aircraft components for manufacturers including Airbus, Boeing and Gulfstream, will build in the Global TransPark, created by the legislature 17 years ago to transform Eastern North Carolina's economy. It was envisioned as a bustling business park built around aviation, logistics and trade. A feasibility study projected that its presence among the sprawling farmland would generate 55,000 jobs by 1998. The TransPark, though, has never lived up to those lofty expectations. A decade later, it has netted just 12 tenants, including state agencies, and has required regular infusions of state and federal funding to remain in operation. Total government spending on the TransPark to date exceeds $87 million. "We have had every year someone take the Global TransPark to the graveyard, and we've always been able to drive the hearse back," Gov. Mike Easley said Wednesday. "Today we start to silence all of those naysayers over the years who have been heckling from the sidelines." Hundreds of local and state dignita ...

A draft report says two Cabarrus County cities may have overestimated water needs to justify plans to take water from the Catawba and Yadkin rivers. The Charlotte Observer reported Thursday the report states that Cabarrus' maximum daily water demand in 2035 would be 36 percent less than Concord and Kannapolis estimated two years ago. North Carolina officials last year approved plans by the cities to pipe water from the rivers. That approval is being appealed and South Carolina has sued North Carolina in the U.S. Supreme Court over the proposal. Opponents worry because the water wouldn't be returned to the same rivers. The Water & Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County commissioned the report and said it will spend more than a year to verify the new numbers. The report says the transfer is still needed. ...

Spirit AeroSystems has won the largest contract in the company's brief history and will open a plant in North Carolina to accommodate the new work. Spirit will design and build the center fuselage section of the Airbus A350 XWB at a plant in Kinston, N.C. Spirit chairman and chief executive Jeff Turner said the contract is valued at $2.7 billion over the life of the program, a record deal for the Wichita company, which was created in 2005. "We have and will continue to develop our network of design-build capabilities around the world," Turner said. "A win for one place is a win for every place because of the way we share resources." Portions of the work on the composite section will be done in Wichita and at Spirit's new facility in Malaysia, which will open next year. Wichita will do some design and, depending on the schedule, might build some of the test articles here, spokeswoman Debbie Gann said. ...
