Zack Matheny: GPAC Will Lure Corporations To Greensboro

That was the argument that was made when the pitch was being made to build the downtown Greensboro Performing Arts Center but as JoeyG points out:

"Some of the hugely expensive projects Zack has supported-- the performing arts center, the aquatic center and the downtown greenway-- failed to attract the folks at Boeing.  They were not "dazzled" by these projects to the extent that they would locate their huge facility here.  We were told by Zack's Melderec crowd that these projects would help us lure major industries; but again, Greensboro did not even make the cut.

Unfortunately, Boeing made the rational choice.  It is going elsewhere.  And it has left Councilman Zack Matheny empty-handed."

Fact is: everything Zack Matheny touches turns out wrong-- very wrong.
