Since I think the Amazon HQ2 thread should be officially retired, I thought it would be good to have a general Economic Development topic. If one exists, I couldn't find it. Obviously the city's ability to recruit relocations and expansions to Charlotte directly impacts urban planning and increased density in the central business district. @ricky_davis_fan_21 mentioned this in the Amazon HQ2 thread, but the CBJ is reporting on AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. scouting Charlotte. Charlotte makes so much more sense to me than Nashville does, simply because of the deep talent pool here. If we can't win this expansion... well, let's just hope we can land this. I would love to see an eventual tower on North Tryon, in South End, or in Elizabeth near the Grubb properties. Sounds like they plan to try to make a decision in the next 3 months or so.
