Bell Foundation The Bell Foundation is Johnathan Durant Bell, 300 N Greene Street, Suite 1000 which is owned by CW GREENSBORO PROPERTIES LLC of Newton Mass but is not registered with the NC Secretary of State. That building is also known as the Wells Fargo Building and is valued at $41 Million Dollars of which the State of North Carolina is collecting zero income taxes on the rents collected there. Someone from the City of Greensboro and the State of North Carolina should be paying me for all this money I'm finding.
Johnathan Durant Bell is also the President and a partner of the real estate firm, Bell Partners, previously known as Steven D Bell & Company, whose office is also 300 N Greene Suite 1000. Didn't they fire Zack Mathneny for drinking on the job? Well at least they did something right.

Louise and Jim Brady Brady Trane Heating and Air aka Brady Services will no doubt get all or part of the HVAC work for the job. No single HVAC contractor can handle the entire job and will no doubt sub out some of the work no matter who wins the final bid. Brady is in-fact the only such contractor in town big enough to handle the job,

I've pointed out the most obvious. Check back from time to time as I research the rest of the names on the list and tell you why they want to see Greensboro and Guilford County tax payers foot the bill for the Greensboro performing arts center. And yes, I will dig up a lot more dirt and reasons why these people aren't really pushing GPAC for the good of Greensboro.
