It was just a matter of time...

before Lenoir became recognized as the information Mecca of the nation!

Now that we have given up on 100% of the business property taxes for the
next 30 years and 80% of the real estate property taxes for the next 30
years, our nice little bedroom community will become the Silicon Valley of
the East!

I wonder how many of the estimated 200 jobs will actually be filled from the
local area--2? Perhaps 3, maybe?

Word has it too that Bill Gates bought 6 tracts of land in the Laurelmor
subdivision between Boone, Wilkesboro, and Blowing Rock. ****, I my just
quit my day job and prostitute myself out as a $10,000.00 a day guide. The
Ginn Group is one of them high falutin' golf/real estate development
companies that are taking the nation by storm. The folks that buy into
Laurelmor can just fly into the place via private airstrip, shop at their
own malls, receive emergency medical attention from their own fire and
rescue dept.--includes helicopters, golf and fish their own streams... and
never even have to associate with white trailer trash such as myself, iffin'
they don't want to. Ain't life grand!

Op --Apparently, the Google folks have already slept with a few of our
finest city council members and county commissioner though :~^ ( --

I don't have any money to invest in real estate, but screwing
public servants (if only to return the favor) seems like it could
be a good thing....

depending on the aesthetics.....

You got pics?

They already did that out here.

I don't think google brought in that many people. What they did is
build a big server farm. Lots of machines, in air conditioned
buildings with lots of UPs power units backed up by diesel generators.
The power systems are designed to provide continous, reliable power.
No matter what you googline they want to make sure you get an answer.
The basically came to town with dump trucks full of money and built the
place, If you know the Good, Fast, Cheap -Pick two theory of
construction, they were going for Good and Fast.
So far when I drive throught The Dalles and Mosier I can still see the
cheery orchards where long ago I spent summers makeing the big bucks
picking Bings and Tarts. Who knows how long they will last.
