"The series shows that the state pledged $266 million in public money for 45,258 jobs, often subsidizing low-wage industries like call centers and retail (Wal-Mart and its Sam’s Club unit are among the recipients). Ninety-six percent of those jobs have yet to materialize, with 46 deals creating none."
Seems folks to our south are none too happy with what their incentive packages bought them. It's looking very much like Alamance County got screwed.
One thing that is working to provide jobs right here in Guilford County is Local Foods as Community Development despite the fact that the City of Greensboro hasn't been participating.
You see it kinda makes sense that food would be a good economic development tool as people just can't live without food and most folks eat more than they need to live.
Perhaps city leaders should look again at my ideas for aquaponics and other forms of agriculture on the 500 city owned, never before used acres on White Street.
