It has been said that Lithium, which is used in EV batteries, is the new oil. What is interesting is that North Carolina ranks as one of several states in having one of the largest deposits of lithium in the United States. Looking forward it will be interesting to see how that will affect North Carolina's economy decades to come. Look at what oil did for Texas. The lithium deposits are in part a reason why Toyota selected North Carolina for its North American battery plant.

Thanks to Toyota, two separate companies investing in EV jobs in the Triad (Davidson County and Burlington) If this keeps up North Carolina and the Triad in particular could become a major U.S. hub in EV associated production. We knew that Toyota would attract suppliers to the area.

I do know they were talking about a potential food hall at the other depot. I've always thought it would be a cool place for a blues club/bar. If there weren't so many breweries nearby, that would be a cool use for it as well. But whatever the use, it needs to be something different. Not the typical bar or restaurant.

Redevelopment of Greensboro's first train depot from 1899 is in the works. No word yet on what it will be transformed into. But I hope they restore it to its original architecture.
The depot before changes over the decades were made.
Greensboro is lucky to have both historic train depots standing downtown. The newer and larger depot which was built in 1926 is the Amtrak station which is a part of the multi modal transportation hub.

Renderings of the Crown Events Center for downtown Fayetteville. It will include a main event hall that can fit 3,000 attendees, more meeting and event space on the first floor and VIP spaces on the second floor. Its basically a theater and convention center all under one roof and will host concerts and even Broadway productions.

Driving down I-40, I noticed steel rising out of the ground on the TopGolf site where the main building is suppose to go. Looks like its officially under construction
Here are the plans on a bidding site. Plans show a two level TopGolf.

This is not the actual rendering below but based on the elevations in the architectural plans, this is the version they are building.

Job growth in the area is leading to more housing in Greensboro. The site will be annexed into Greensboro.
The final approved plan called for 314 single-family homes and 193 townhouses.

How High Point is transforming it's downtown area.
https://businessnc.com/nc-trend-high-points-efforts-to-remain-vibrant-year-round/
High Point has a unique opportunity as well with its gorgeous showrooms which gives a more modern look to its downtown than its two larger Triad siblings. Yes the showrooms have gobbled up a good portion of downtown but just imagine if these showrooms could somehow transform into mixed-use properties that work for the furniture market and downtown High Point year round. Then there are the development opportunities on other vacant properties. It speaks volumes that developers from Charlotte and Raleigh are now looking at downtown High Point for building projects. High Point's downtown is not only unique in North Carolina but its unique in the United States as well. There is no downtown in America like it and the city needs to use that uniqueness to its advantage.

Photo tour of Downtown High Point ("North Carolina's International City") one thing that is unique about Guilford County is that it is the only county in North Carolina that has two cities with urban downtown cores.
High Point's 2023 population is 115,347

Article hints that Toyota will make a major announcement next week "bigger and better " than previous announcements for the Greensboro-Liberty site. It appears to me that the announcement will likely be about Toyota building an electric automobile assembly plant adjacent to the battery plant. Toyota spokesmen have hinted that in the past when they made the announcement about the battery plant but the news could become official next week! Hundreds of people have already moved to the Greensboro area from other states to work at the Toyota plant and more could be on the way. Liberty will be seeing a development boom for new housing as well.

Zack Matheny gives another hint about some unannounced downtown projects. One of them is likely what the Ryan Companies has planned for the News and Record property but I can't wait for the announcement of the others. Could we finally see multiple skyline additions? $800 million is a lot so these are some very big projects. All the planned downtown development is probably a direct result of all the jobs announcements within the past year.
"We have a lot to celebrate this year, including a staggering number of visits to downtown, new business openings and tremendous progress on several large transformational projects for the future"

Impressive statistics for downtown Greensboro.
Very impressive. I can't wait until the "exciting" things are revealed once they get permission from the developers. $800 million is a lot so there must be multiple big projects under development.

couple quotes from that article
“I have said every time I've done this (update), ‘residential, residential, residential.’ Without residential, we don't continue to grow, “ he said. “When I started with Downtown Greensboro in 2015 I think we had about 1,800 people living in downtown. Today we've got about three 3,300, so almost doubled. And we're not stopping there.’
We've got over $800 million in the pipeline of planned projects. $800 million. That's amazing. Our tax base right now is about $1.1 billion.”
I think once we get about 10,000 to 12,000 people living downtown, the center city will reach its "critical mass" for a lot of retail services downtown. That's when we start seeing stores such as urban Targets there. At that point downtown, which is a square mile would be the most densely populated area of the city.
