Cain has been a long time state tax credit advocate

Paul Cain, the former Oconee County councilman and a one-time Utica resident, sounds his approval today of the news that developers intend to use state tax credits to retrofit the former JP Stevens plant at Utica into a large low income housing complex.  Cain identifies the principal behind the development as an Atlanta-based man, John Gumpert, with experience in taking dormant textile buildings and creating new life for them.
