The greatest thing is that Mack Trucks, FedEx and HondaJet will all come online about the same time. Thats a whole lot of jobs coming at the same time. 2009 and 2010 are going to be great years for Greensboro and hopefully this economic growth will be reflected in more downtown urban development.

There is not a shadow of a doubt they will spur more hotel development and residential growth, but will it occur where we want it?

FOX reported that the Mack headquarters will be located on the Volvo campus in Greensboro

Both are competitors.

This is why our leaders need to get the ball rolling on the "Heart of the Triad" which we discuss in another thread.

Well there are two options. Either let the land between Greensboro and Winston-Salem be overtaken by sprawl or there should be controlled and well planned development in a project like Heart of the Triad. Developemnt is going to happen between the Triad cities whether we like it or not. Its coming. The question is what kind of development would you rather see?
