Durham has had a huge past year despite Covid. It'll be interesting to see where Google sets up shop long term. They will temporarily be downtown to start.

Man wow, congratulations to Durham and the triangle, that google announcement is astounding, I have been watching durham grow and explode over the years, and it’s be so amazing to see the transformation of our neighbors to the north.

Here in greensboro, the syngenta corporation just announced plans of a 68 million dollar expansion, the newer facility will support up to 750 employees

Plans include a new 100.000 sqft office building and renovation of all of the current research labs, construction is slated to start soon.

North Carolina despite COVID is absolutely killing it.

Don't forget about Holly Springs:

Add 725+ new jobs and a new $1.5 billion Fujifilm campus in Holly Springs (basically south Raleigh).

Wilmington is going to get a new FBO at its Airport this year (its 2nd)...

"This spring, work is set to start on Aero Center Wilmington, a new fixed base operator being planned on the grounds of the Wilmington International Airport.

Marathon FBO Partners, doing business as the FBO brand Aero Center Wilmington, is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of this year, said Michael Scheeringa, a partner in the new fixed-base operator (FBO).

He is also managing director of SAR Trilogy Management LLC, the majority owner of Aero Center Wilmington and Aero Center Lakeland in Lakeland, Florida. An FBO provides general aviation services, such as fuel, hangaring and aircraft maintanence.

The permitting process for the project is still ongoing, Scheeringa said. Pending permits, plans are to start construction in May."

The Airport has an existing construction project going on (images are in this article)...

A non stop flight to Boston was recently added. There are now non stop flights from Wilmington to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Charlotte, Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas.

Google annouced lots of innovation hubs in different cities including Atlanta also. Lots of money to spend, Google glasses what a flop though.

I was trying to sound less piercing in y comment that areas around Charlotte weren't exactly cosmopolitan.

Is Atlanta the cultural capital of the South? It's the biggest and most tolerant, but with so many inadequacies compared to other states, I hope it can't export this culture elsewhere.

See current voting restriction proposals, laws against adoptions by gay couples, inadequate road capacity and maintenance.
What I said has zero to do with GA state politics currently.
