The attendees closed the summit with a desire to convene again. So that afternoon we hope to be joined by our Keynote Speaker and a representative from HUD for a discussion on equitable development and next steps for the group.
Piedmont Triad Economic Opportunities Tour
Then on November 15 Piedmont Together is offering a Piedmont Triad bus tour. This will be a great opportunity anyone, but especially for developers, bankers, and investors to hear from local communities about their plans and commitment to development opportunities. The tour will begin at four different locations throughout the region and visit four communities: Asheboro, Cooleemee, High Point, Lexington, and Randleman. Each bus will visit all four locations. Each community will highlight and discuss development opportunities and the city's commitments and plans for each site.
