Billy Jones: "Mayor Robbie Perkins' Record Of Failure"

"While Mayor Perkins and the Piedmont Triad Partnership
are talking about extending Greensboro's water and sewer lines to the Alamance County line
to help sell commercial properties owned by Mayor Perkins' buddies
...in East Greensboro alone, over 2000 acres of undeveloped commercial and industrial properties
lie unused with water and sewer already in place.

...Mayor Perkins and his developer buddies are the current "leadership" of Greensboro and Guilford County
and have repeatedly tried to develop outlying areas of the county
while ignoring infill development as was made the City's development policy several years ago.

Previously, Mayor Perkins was pitching Greensboro taxpayers' dollars be spent
to develop the Heart of the Triad-- a 7,500 acre site on the western edge of the county.

Meanwhile, the industrial park at I-85 and Mcconnell Road,
built by Mayor Perkins and paid for by Pete Goria,
has 2 buildings and 1 tenant.

Greensboro-- especially East Greensboro-- is filled with empty commercial and industrial properties
that already have access to city water and sewer
and yet all the Mayor and his cronies are interested in are developing downtown
and the farthermost reaches of the county.

Why?

Because they own the land and they want to develop it with taxpayer's dollars.

Have we forgotten that Mayor Perkins was a partner in the Shoppes at Gunter’s Crossing?

[Some] ...developers no longer want to deal with Robbie Perkins
because he has a history of losing clients' monies
so Mayor Perkins plans to waste your money instead.

...these are the people you want in charge of building a performing arts center in Greensboro?"
