"Councilmembers and Greensboro City Attorney Mujeeb Shah-Khan said that Gerbings representatives said the company still plans to move its headquarters to Greensboro but will not accept the incentive money and the conditions that come with it."
You see, Billy Jones was right all along when I wrote:
"The investors only plan to invest $116,000. But they want the City to pay $150,000.
What the City of Greensboro is essentially trying to do is steal jobs away from our next door neighbor, Rockingham County, by bribing Gerbing’s Heated Clothing to move offices from the less expensive Stoneville, North Carolina to the most expensive real estate in the Piedmont Triad, Downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. The people who will be filling those jobs already work for Gerbings in Stoneville and will most likely be commuters. This is not more new jobs for the people already living in Greensboro."
It was all a con job by developer John Lomax to get the taxpayers to pay a few more of his bills and as usual I spotted it first. Imagine that.
