Jobs and Economic Development Public Safety She knows that it is important to take steps to ensure public safety so that everyone’s health and everyday lives are secure. Our police and fire departments’ primary goal is keeping our city and citizens safe. In order to make this happen, they need to be funded for continuous training and problem-solving skills. In addition they should be equipped with the necessary equipment and the staffing required to achieve that goal. Infrastructure One of the most powerful economic development tools we have is our robust roadway system. Our infrastructure helps make Greensboro a leading logistics hub in the Southeast United States. These investments have led to the development of two regional megasites which will enable us to attract advanced manufacturing employers. These potential employers will meet a ready, willing and well-trained workforce. Maintaining our infrastructure typically involves high-cost investments; however, they are vital to our city’s economic development and prosperity. Quality of Life |
