HPE on the ALB

While digging around, I found this High Point Enterprise editorial on the Aerotropolis Leadership Board:

The ALB and its overseer (Piedmont Triad Partnership) want to do as much as it can behind closed doors, making grandiose plans for thousands of acres of land near the airport. It’s a tactic some of the same principals initially took with the Heart of the Triad project, which involves plans for about 18,000 acres of largely undeveloped land along the Guiford-Forsyth county line. That was a onerous tactic then, and it’s a onerous tactic now.

Part of ALB’s ducks-in-a-row procedure should be keeping all of the stakeholders, including property owners, in the areotropolis area informed along the way. Stakeholders should be able to attend ALB meetings, and at least a brief time should be set aside at each session for “public comment.” Otherwise, it’s going to be a winding, rocky road from Point A to Point B.
