  2. Winston-Salem wants funding for NanoMed Institute

    Creation of the North Carolina NanoMedicine Institute in Winston-Salem's Piedmont Triad Research Park could generate as many as 6,000 jobs during the next 10 years, with an average annual salary of $87,000.

    But first, chambers of commerce from around the Piedmont Triad must convince the General Assembly to provide $15 million in initial funding for the project, according to an announcement from the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce.

    N.C. NanoMed would be an independent nonprofit medical testing facility designed to help companies obtain FDA approval for nanomedical products. The institute would include researchers from area colleges and universities, who would work with the companies in the testing process, the announcement said.

    David Carroll, director of the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials at Wake Forest University, said there is a shortage of such testing facilities, and that is impacting the industry's ability to bring nano-related products to market.

    "N.C. NanoMed is expected to be one of only two FDA testing facilities in the nation, and will fill an unmet need for regulatory review of nanotechnology in medical applications," Carroll said.

    Project boosters say the Triad already has a significant number of nanotechnology resources, and a facility such as N.C. NanoMed would draw many more.

    Rep. Larry Womble, D-Forsyth, is currently drafting a bill for the $15 million funding request that will be submitted prior to the May 9 filing deadline.

    If Winston is able to get this it would help the whole park, and new companies will start to move to the park.

  3. The former Salem Foreign Auto Repair building at 5th and Spring Streets is being renovated into the "Doo Wop Shops!" The renovation is to play up the 60's style architecture and will be within 2 blocks of West End Village! The possibility of a market/deli for a tenant exists.

    This project is goign to be cool when it is finnishe!!

    it is good that they are getting some projects just for retail

    Where will people park to go in these stores?

  4. I dont think PTI will ever die because the Triad will always be large enough to sustain an international airport. I think as the Triad's economy starts getting better, we'll see more airport business at PTI. but you are right about the rail serving downtowns, univerities and so on. But they should also be connected with the airports.

    I think if PTI fails they should make Smith Reynolds Airport better and have all flights out of Smith Reynolds.
