This doesn't sound as sexy as the Toyota plant and the aircraft manufacturing facility and won't pay as much money but it is a sign the Greensboro area is about to experience major growth in the upcoming years leading to an increase in the median income and population growth.īetween the three projects the Greensboro area will be getting about 7,500 new jobs and this doesn't include spin-off associated jobs coming from building these facilities with suppliers and other associated industries. It will employ 2,000 people and would be twice the size of the Amazon fulfillment center in western Guilford County in Kernersville. Lastly, Amazon is planning to build a 2-million-square-foot fulfillment center in Greensboro just off of I-85. PTI is already the world headquarters for Honda Aircraft Company which also has a jet manufacturing facility at the airport (HondaJet). These would be high paying jobs along with the Toyota facility. The aircraft manufacturing facility would bring 1,700 jobs to PTI. State leaders who know the identity of the company have said there is about a 75% chance this is coming to PTI and that it would be transformative for the Greensboro area. Secondly a major unidentified aircraft manufacturer is looking at Piedmont Triad International Airport for an aircraft manufacturing facility. Officials have called the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite a "campus" site for Toyota. Phase 2 would likely mean an electric car assembly plant next to the battery plant. The Greensboro area has been getting some great economic news over the past few weeks and the kind of job numbers the area is about to see could lead to a more rapid population growth.įirst Toyota plans to build a battery plant at the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite starting out with 1,700 new jobs but will end up being over 3,800 jobs after phase 2 on the megasite.
