Our Region Notched Another Win!!

Yesterday, The Volvo Group (headquartered in Greensboro) announced a $41M investment to purchase and renovate the building that currently houses their US Uptime Center located at 8003 Piedmont Triad Pkwy, Greensboro 27409. This investment will create Volvo’s new global headquarters for its Volvo Financial Services (VFS). When completed, the new office building will be approximately 180,000 sq. ft., and will provide workspace for 360 employees at their new global headquarters. Completion is expected in Q1 2023.

In addition to new large employers; such as Publix, Toyota Battery Manufacturing, and Boom, we are seeing a greater commitment from existing business, like Volvo, expanding locally and retaining their employees. The tag line of the Guilford County Economic Development Alliance is, "You Can Make It Here." And, they are!

I am proud that we have employers such as: Volvo, Wrangler | Lee, Qorvo, Syngenta and The Fresh Market that decided to expand here at home.

These Recent Job Announcements have not been an "Overnight" Success.

It's taken years of preparation and planning. It's taken vision, determination, strategy, and strong leadership. I am very proud to be that leader and a part of the recruiting team that brought these projects to fruition.

Greensboro offers a great quality of life - big city amenities while maintaining a small town feel. It was recently reported, “Greensboro, North Carolina, is one of those places that's big enough to have everything you need but small enough for you to regularly bump into people you know. People who live here love it and say they have no reason to leave. Those who do leave often return home to Greensboro to raise their families.”

If you want to continue reaping these great economic development announcements, continue to see improvement in public safety and a commitment to safe, affordable housing, I need your support. You have my word!

My opponent has been working hard raising money, while I have been busy being YOUR mayor and working for YOU. Local campaigns are expensive so please consider any size contribution … it’s for your future and the future of this City.
