What we should do in NC is stop giving so much money to rural areas - in this economy, no company is going to want to locate there - and start a massive capagin to improve the infrastructure of Charlotte, the Triad, and the Triangle.I’ve read somewhere that for every transportation dollar NC spends in urban areas, another must be spent in a rural area.
The newest transportation bill would change that. I’m not sure if it has passed yet, but it most likely will. It would stop a program that doles out road money based on the percentage of linear feet of roadways in a county that are unpaved.
