Pat McCrory, governor of North Carolina, will meet with the 42 furniture industry leaders who sent a letter in support of funding for the High Point Market Authority. 

The private meeting will take place Saturday at noon for about 45 minutes in the President's Room on the 11th floor of the IHFC.

"We appreciate the governor taking time out of his schedule to attend the High Point Market and to meet with us," says Doug Bassett, president of Vaughan-Bassett, and chairman of the High Point Market Authority. "We want to thank Gov. McCrory for his support of the Market Authority and the furniture industry, particularly in providing funding that will help us to continue and to improve the massive trade show that has such a huge economic impact on the state of North Carolina."

Following the closed meeting, McCrory will meet with representatives of the media.
