More great news for Kernersville...
With the help of Forsyth County, the WS Chamber of Commerce and the State of North Carolina, Piedmont Aviation, who is currently located just off of 421/Market Street, has announced the addition of 120 new jobs. The company was looking at either moving locations (possibly out of state) or adding jobs to their current facility. We are ecstatic that they decided to stay in Kernersville to grow!
So many businesses recently have announced either expansion or relocating to Kernersville...those of us who live here know why-- but what can we do to tell the rest of the world our story?
The challenge that the town and its citizens have is to not only grow as our demographics change in order to meet the demand in services (town and private entity) but to be able to spread the message of what we have to offer so that others know what a great community we are blessed with!
The board of aldermen is working currently on re-vamping the website with third-party advisers and we are trying to stay in front of the media as good news comes our way--and Lord knows we need all of the good news we can get on the t.v!
These are small things...the bigger things are going to take time and private investment dollars...the town has stepped up to the plate and carefully used taxpayer dollars to improve downtown infrastructure and aesthetics as well as numerous road projects that ease congestion and improve traffic flow....now its time for us to "toot our own horn" when we are out and encourage restaurants, shops and entertainment to join our community so that we don't have to continually go "out of town" for a wide selection of dinner choices and a entertainment....let everyone you know, know that Kernersville is definitely the best place to call home!
Congratulations Piedmont Aviation on your expansion!
