There are over 180 Empty Megasites across the United States and Mayor Robbie Perkins and The Greensboro Partnership still continue their push to build several in the Piedmont Triad. From the comments in my post, Op-ed: Megasite plan for Randolph County carries a steep price for taxpayers
"We got Pearl Habored January 9, 2013 when we (citizens of Jefferson county TN Talbott-Kansas, Sager, and Spring Creek communities) found out via 11 PM TV News (Knoxville Tn Ch 10) that we were in megasite footprint!! We have hired a lawyer, Scott Hurley, and created a website www.saveourfarms-homes.com and gotten a heck of an education on how this megasite scam works!! You can go shop for your very own megasite (there are over 180 EMPTY ones across USA) www.siteselection.com/issues/2013/jan/super-sites.cfm
Understand that your taxes pay 100% of cost and site is then GIVEN to whatever corporation with 15 to 30 years of tax abatements!!! So, your county property taxes go sky high effectively depopulating your communities and making all megasite refugees!! McCollum and Sweeney are the ones selling this scam. You can go to www.jeffersoncountypost.com to read all about what has happened to us!!! Especially, read they editorials and what readers have written.

Just like our neighbors in Jefferson County, Tennessee have learned, these megasites are the biggest scam in the real estate and development industry today and those that would use public monies to promote them should be shot or hanged. Sadly, most will be reelected so they may Robme some more.
