Heart update
Taft Wireback takes a look at the Heart of the Triad project in today's paper:
If the Heart of the Triad is developed right, it could be home to 117,000 residents and 140,000 new jobs in such sectors as medicine and transportation technology, consultants said Tuesday.
But properly coordinated development would leave a third of the area as open space, enable residents to live close to work and create the strong sense of a unique place while boosting the economy by $313 million yearly, they said.
Six local governments must work together for this thing to work, so look for lots of discussion from your local pols in the coming months and years.
