Honda deal draws more attention
The Greensboro Economic Development Alliance has already won the brass ring: It did much of the work in recruiting Honda Aircraft Co. to Piedmont Triad International Airport. Honda is building its headquarters and manufacturing operations there and will hire about 350 workers.
That is bringing the Triad international recognition in the aeronautics industry and could attract even more industry.
Now, Business Facilities Magazine has added polish to the ring by naming the Economic Development Alliance a winner of an honorable mention in its "Economic Development Deal of the Year Awards."
Another winner in the awards was the Mississippi Development Authority for the Toyota plant that had North Carolinians buzzing last year with the possibility that the company might build the plant somewhere in the state, possibly Davidson County.
