PIEDMONT TRIAD - Representatives from the Piedmont Triad visited Atlanta, GA this week to call on site location consultants. PTP representatives were Kelly Stuart, Vice President, Client Development, and Dawn Booker, Vice President, Marketing. Piedmont Triad regional representatives included: Judy Stevens, Executive Director, Montgomery Economic Development; Alan D Wood, Director, Stokes County Economic Development; and Todd Tucker, President, Surry County Economic Development Partnership.
While in Atlanta, the regional representatives met with representatives from 12 site location and national real estate development firms based in the area. The trip is a continuation of the Piedmont Triad Partnership’s ongoing direct-contact program targeting third-party advisors to businesses on matters regarding facility expansion and relocation.
“The Atlanta site consultant community is the largest single market in the U.S. for our contact efforts,” says Don Kirkman, President and CEO, Piedmont Triad Partnership. “Many of the advisory groups with offices in the Atlanta area serve clients with operational interests that include the southeastern United States. Therefore, we want to make sure that those advisors are regularly updated on the advantages and assets available to companies operating in the Piedmont Triad,” adds Kirkman.
The Piedmont Triad Region also hosted a reception and regional briefing for several Atlanta area site consultant and development firms. The reception was held at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
The Piedmont Triad Partnership (PTP), one of seven regional economic development partnerships in North Carolina, is the economic development organization representing the 12-county Piedmont Triad region. The PTP is the lead organization for the U.S. Department of Labor-funded Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) initiative, which supports the development of an integrated regional economic development and workforce development strategy for the Piedmont Triad. The Piedmont Triad, the nation's 37th-largest metro region with more than 1.6 million residents, includes the counties of Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin.
