Greensboro Economic Development Manager Marshall Yandle says the recent growth has been years in the making, involving nearly a dozen partners.
"Long-term investments from the Piedmont Triad International Airport, the Greensboro urban loop, our investments in water and sewer, the investments from the community college — Guilford Tech — and some of the trainings that they do to support those industries," says Yandle.
Yandle also credits the Guilford County Economic Development Alliance. He says they’ll continue working to diversify the economy, but for now, he says they're riding the wave, the wave is just starting, and they're looking forward to what's to come.
