Fitch Affirms Greensboro, NC's GO's at 'AAA'
Abstract:
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University are partnering in the development of the Gateway University Research Park and a joint school of nanoscience and nanoengineering that should have a positive impact attracting high-wage jobs in targeted industry clusters. Fitch notes a number of non-manufacturing businesses recently locating or expanding within Greensboro citing the city's central southeast location, proximity to multi-modal transportation infrastructure, and high quality of life.
