nope charlotte will lose cooper did a TERRIBLE job with his submissions compared to other cities I saw. i will tell you what first person to run again cooper has my vote. he is dumber than bev

If they are looking in this area, it will Charlotte.

are u dumb? look at their requirements they name frequent cities they will be flying to and from and must have direct access no stops.

Just how much are those people going to be using an airport? And App, stfu.

Keep this liberal business out and stay true to the roots of Wilkes Co.

I read an article recently that proved it rains more in Charlotte than Seattle, despite the perception of Seattle being a more depressive city, weather wise. But I still don't like you

Charlotte and Seattle rank very similar. Charlotte is a bit higher in population.

I might pick Greensboro over Charlotte because of available of skilled high tech labor. Charlotte has better transportation, UNC, the race track, Carowinds, two or more malls, the airport, lake Norman/lake Wylie, I 77 and I 85.

Charlotte doesn't have a chance. The roadways and traffic suck and the airport is near it's limit in space ...... which is why they are planning to expand.

Hickory's airport is too small to handle jets from freight companies, so they are out.

Greensboro has the best chance of any NC city. They have I-40 and I-85 running through their backyard and the local airport is large enough without being overly crowded.

BTW, Amazon isn't going to relocate the workforce from the left coast. They will hire locals (who knows which restroom to use) and be trained by a few left coasters who will visit for a few months during the training period.

Wilkes has nothing to offer but redneck crack hoes and meth.

I really hate to say this but I agree with aficinadas.

You are worrying too much. Locating amazon in NC isn’t going to affect the housing costs in Wilkes County. I can assure you that the people able to work at an Amazon headquarters have no desire to buy homes in Wilkes. There is a chance they could pick Hickory. But Charlotte is more likely. And the RTP area is the best fit. 40 and 85 won’t notice another 10k cars commuting daily. The sections between Greensboro and Raleigh are already parking lots

We definitely need good paying jobs in Wilkes County I hope the county attracts some companies.

Just look at the different pages. I am on here saying he cops are dirty and we have a supermarket for illegal drugs on main street Wilkesboro and the response from others is I need to get right with God. Then take the OP of this page, he is only concerned that gays might get jobs and the area might turn blue. Why would anyone want to move to Wilkes?

This is one reason we haven't had new and better jobs come to Wilkes. We have way to many crazies. I mean really, if you were an avid reader of this page, would you move to Wilkes and invest in a business?

And your comment about turning political areas of NC from red to blue is laughable at best.

App1994, I certainly hope you are not serious.

With the high unemployment in the surrounding areas, we should be doing all we can to attract jobs instead of telling them to look elsewhere.

As for housing, there are more than a few houses on the market and no one will be forced from their homes.

And concerning the sexual orientation of their employees, what business is it of yours as long as they aren't hurting anyone?

I'm sure it will be in the south east.that's the biggest pool of dummys that will work for peanuts.

My question is how can we get Appstate1994 out of NC? This is just the type of individual we don't need in our state.

Gee AppState, I didn't realize that Amazon has "their type of employees regarding sexual orientation" and apparently NC doesn't have any. How does that work? Maybe Amazon buys them from a factory in Taiwan?

Also "we do not have the speedy transportation infrastructure"? So what are all the airports & interstate highways used for in NC?
