City of Burlington Information Request; Project Haystack

"...a broker is currently meeting with property owners adjacent to the prison farm to see whether they’d be willing to sell their property in order for the proposed infrastructure to expand beyond the 760-acre footprint.

The numbers currently available through the Greensboro Planning Department, though, state that Project Haystack would cost about $88 million initially to develop infrastructure over a two-year period, could result in a private-sector investment of $6.5 billion over the 20-year build-out period, would support about 5,300 jobs, result in $720 million in economic activity annually, and yield $39 million in state and local tax revenues annually."
