Trust me, I’ll take ambitious also. I’m glad they’re setting aggressive goals, but on the opposing hand we should make sure the focus is on growing existing businesses and helping our residents start small businesses. I’d hate to see us gamble $8 million to bring 500 jobs, when we could’ve helped small business and aspiring business owners create 500 jobs.
Ok this is interesting.You've been pretty vocal here around the lack of big job announcements over the last couple of years. This alliance gets announced and now you're for growing local?
Not trying to give you a hard time. I do get what you're saying, just found it interesting.
I don't see where their aim is to only attempt to lure in companies with 400+ open positions to Greenville. It's going to take jobs of all types to grow the area. Going local is smart. But I don't think they should limit or turn down the chance at landing a large company that could come to Greenville
I think this is great. There is a financial commitment that we haven't really seen before in this area. Pretty much all of the heavy hitters in town are in on this working together. That is significant.

I also would like to add that US264 Alt/US13 has now been 4 laned from Frog Level to just pass the bypass (with the exception of a quick right turn lane at Frog Level) now they need to 4 lane the highway back to Farmville.
Man - I have been waiting for a hotel uptown for so long, I really hope this comes to fruition. Game changer with all the events held at the ECU main campus student center, it would really give people a place to stay close to campus & in turn they would spend their money in the uptown area as well.
