"Please send me the feasibility study funded by the city of Greensboro that projected a possible $6.5 billion in private investment and the creation of 5,349 jobs over the next 20 years from Project Haystack.
PS. And tell them I'll be posting this e-mail to http://
Also, please include the numbers that went into the study and their sources.

Please explain why the City of Greensboro is providing water and sewer even though Burlington could do so at much lower cost. Note: The project is surrounded on 3 sides by Burlington water and sewer services.
Please explain how this project gets around Greensboro's ordinance against providing incentives (water and sewer extensions) to projects that cannot be annexed by Greensboro? Is the City of Greensboro not one of the developers of this proposed megasite? Would Guilford County not be considered a developer in this instance? They are in-fact doing speculative investments. Even if the county sees a loss up front, if successful the county would hope to profit in increases in long term tax values. Otherwise, there is little justification for the county to back the project.
And lastly, who authorized this study, did that person have the authority to do so and what was the cost?
Thanks -Billy Jonesgreensboroperformingarts. blogspot.com/ and Facebook so they might want to hurry."
We'll see what that brings.
