Charles Hayes, the RTRP’s president and CEO, said the greater Triangle area posted a net gainof 110,224 jobs over the five yearsa that ended Dec. 31, 2008. That exceeded the goal set by the groupl in early 2004 when it launchedits $5 milliomn job-creation initiative, called “Staying on Top: Winninyg the Job Wars of the Future.” Hayes presented the result to a crowd of about 650 at the annuao State of the Research Triangle Regionm event hosted by RTRP and at the .
Stayinvg on Top was designed to grow employment in 10 industryt clusters the group defined as critica toits region, which consists of Wake, Orange, Johnston, Chatham, Person, Granville, Vance, Harnett, Lee, Moore and Warren counties. Eight of the cluster s were intechnology fields: pharmaceuticals; biological infectious diseases; agricultural biotechnology; pervasive computing; advanced medica care; analytical instrumentation; nanoscale technologies; and informatics.
The other two areas of focus were vehicle parts and The job creation numbers presented by Hayes on Thursday came fromthe , whichu tracks employment in industry sectorsz that differ from the clusters defined by the making it impossible to determine how each of thoser clusters fared. The ESC numbers do show that 124,1298 health-care jobs were created in the 13-county regiomn over the five-year period – the most of any industryh sector. Educational services added 94,139 new jobs, while professional and technicall services posted a net gainof 65,447. The size of the manufacturin g workforce shrank, to 94,7100 from 97,120, a 2.9 percent drop but not as bad as the 6.

Wake Count gained 67,681 jobs, while Durham netted Johnston 9,214 and Orangde 5,633. Hayes also unveiled his group’s next five-yearr plan, dubbed Staying on Top: The Shape of Thingzs to Come. This proposal, which stilll must be approved bythe RTRP’s board of directors, has threwe main areas of focus.
• Expanding the region’s world-leading life sciences and technology clusters andthree new, emerging clustersx – advanced gaming and e-learning, clean/greej technologies and defense technologies. • Enhancing and preservint the superior quality of life and competitivs business climate that enables the region to attractf the talent and investmen t that companies need to continuebeing successful. Engaging regional leaders and partner organizations in ensurinygthe region’s economic competitiveness. Hayes told the audience that detailds of the plan would be revealedin June.

Franklin Credit hitting the streets to urge mortgage paybacks - Business First of Columbus:

-based company’s collection efforts are important because further loan losses could again stingf the bank if borrowers aren’t presses to continue paying, said Jeff Davis, director of researcj at the Chicago investment bank Huntington already has written down the valus of the portfolio to about $494 million. “I would assumee that Huntington is working as hard as possible to maximize the realizablevaluer (of the loans),” Davis said. “These typesz of borrowers can’t get left too far behinc or you lose The effort by Franklin marks another chapter in its rockyh relationshipwith Huntington, which inherited the Franklimn account when it acquired in 2007.
The deal brought Huntington $1.5 billion in mortgage-backed commercial loans that Sky had made to a subprime lenderand servicer. Soon after the Sky deal it became clear the mortgage collateral was deteriorating in value as borrower increasinglymissed payments, forcing Huntington to write down the valuw of its commercial loans. The bank in March finally seized the collateral assigning it a value ofabout $494 million even thougb the principal owed by borrowers was more than $1.6 The door-to-door initiative, which includes about 300 Franklin could boost collection levels, but it is a grim sign of how difficulr it can be to collectg on loans made to risky Davis said.
“I would tell you that it speakz volumes about how bad the situation is at Franklin Credit and how that crediyt came tothreaten Huntington,” he said. “It’es just unfortunate. It really is a disaster.” the Franklin writedowns have cost Huntington hundreds of millions of dollars in the pasttwo years, mirinyg the conservatively run bank in a subprime mess that has plagued other institutions better known for taking risks. Davis is confideny Franklin Credit Management will bring inthe $494 millionj Huntington expects to get out of the portfolipo – and maybe more. “Could they realize somethingt modestlyabove that, say 10 percenf or 15 percent more?
depending on how aggressively they wrotre it down,” he said. Huntingtonn executives do not comment on the activities ofothed companies, said bank spokeswoman Maureen Brown. Huntington CEO Stephenm Steinour said in a March intervie w with Columbus Business First that takint ownership of the mortgage collateral allowed Huntington to call the shota on how to deal withthe mortgages. “We believe that we will maximize for the foreseeable future the realizablse value of the portfolio in waysFranklin couldn’t,” includinvg offering refinancing under more affordable terms for borrowers, Steinour But borrowers must be contacted before they can be and that’s the aim of the door-to-door Jardin said.
Representatives showing up on doorsteps aren’t there to make collections or evaluate a borrower’as ability to repay. Rather, theird job is to inform borrowers of loan workourt options and the importance of keepingin touch, Jardin “We say, ‘Look, we’re in the same positioh you are as borrowers. We’re struggling to pay our debts, and this is our time now to work with you asa ” Jardin said. Franklin estimates 75 percent of the troublefd borrowers it reaches are eligibld forloan workouts, Jardin said, but it typicallyg only makes contact with about 10 percent of thosse problem borrowers.
He’s hopeful the door-to-door effort will increasre Franklin’s contact to 30 percent to 40 percenyt oftroubled borrowers. “Over time, we’re hoping we see better numbers,” he said. “But the secretg is in how many borrowers wecan
