Is a mega-employer looking to bring 10,000 jobs to the Triad? State lawmaker drops a hint.
A state lawmaker suggested Tuesday that the Triad may be on the verge of landing an economic development project that would dwarf even the 5,000-worker Toyota plant about to open south of Greensboro.
State Sen. Gladys Robinson, a Greensboro Democrat in her eighth term serving the 28th District, raised the possibility at the Policy & Prosperity Breakfast presented by the Greensboro Business League and the North Carolina FreeEnterprise Foundation Tuesday morning. In a fireside chat about the Triad's trajectory moderated by TBJ Editor Lloyd Whittington, Robinson suggested another even larger one is in the works.
'With the help of elected officials here and Gov. Cooper and PTI, we were able to attract those businesses. It started way back with HAECO and HondaJet and then Toyota and Boom and so on. And I understand there's another one coming, Mayor [Nancy Vaughan], that … may bring 10,000 jobs.'Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
