This sits behind my office. It’s going to be a truck terminal. Supposed to start with 51 jobs. Here is the problem: They refuse to tie into the redlight at Linamar. The property owner of that land has offered to sell as well. This will create a traffic mess of epic proportions if they don’t tie in, and utilise the redlight. They want to do the right thing, but are going about it wrong. Lord help us all.
Ain’t it great?!?! The gubment has plenty of our money to do with what they like without our input. Oh, but of course the answer is bigger, more powerful government.
When did it become the norm for businesses to demand millions to expand or locate to an area … even Borg Warner, an established and succesful opertaion, has asked for “incentives” for 24 new jobs …
May be? There’s only one reason this hasn’t been made in public. Buncombe County officials do not want any bad press or backlash. But the fact that they are in essence using taxpayer money without any disclosure is very suspicious
That property is across Hendersonville Road from Linamar. Keen used to transport Volvo’s heavy machinery from the factory across H’Ville Road to that temporary holding lot. It has access to the rail spur that was built specifically for Volvo and Progress Energy.
