I’m just sitting here in my kitchen, sipping coffee my sweet husband has poured for me, starting my day and what do I see on the front page of the News & Record? A story about what could some very important and exciting news for Greensboro’s future.
For decades, most of the denim worn in the world came from right here. Cotton was King and thousands of people worked in the mills, supported their families and went about their lives. But it’s been a minute since those mills put out the miles of threads, yarns and fabric that clothed the world.
Now, it seems, data is the new denim. At least around here. At least maybe.
I wrote a few days ago about some of the things happening around here that make for a nice balance to all the dreadful news we get. One of those things is the fact that American Express has chosen Guilford County for its new data center. Now, reading the paper, I learn that some folks who know about these things think this might be just the beginning of a really BIG DEAL for this city.
Apparently data centers like to be around other data centers and having the substantial one from Amex may attract others.
We like that about data centers. We dig it very much.
