KJHburg Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Wake County Economic development report. Download your copy below and great summary of the last fiscal year which runs from Oct to Oct. WCED_Brochure_EconBiz_1-11-21.pdf (nmcdn.io) story in Techwire and good comments about Durham county is not the competition for Wake (or vice versa) I really wish Raleigh Durham would be reunited as the ONE metropolitan area of 2 million people it really is and it would be larger than Nashville. The cross commuting from Wake to Durham and vice versa and the surrounding counties like Chatham which people commute to both separate metro areas. The Triangle is one metro to the rest of the country why not for the locals.

They each have their own niches. Moreover, considering that they’re both relative powerhouses in their respective spheres, they create a fairly potent economic engine for the state and a formidable competitor to other regional metros like Atlanta and Nashville.

I'm still sore that Nashville got that Amazon COE and Raleigh didn't. Here's what we could have been getting if Raleigh would have won that battle...

"""This new site complements the company’s existing presence in North Carolina, where Google has created more than 600 jobs in a variety of full-time and external supplier roles," Google said. The company has operated a data center in Lenoir in Caldwell County since 2007 and an office in Chapel Hill since 2005. "Google Cloud has selected Durham for this new site in order to benefit from the region’s diverse, world-class talent to support growing customer demand for its enterprise products and solutions," the company said.""
