Projects & Construction:
I want to thank the photographers and local businesses, sharing updates on projects, who make this thread possible. Without you, these updates won't happen. I don't make any money from this and these updates are to share, with both locals and out-of-towners, what is happening in the city they love. Many people reading this are far-away and this allows them to see the projects. If you can, please support any local businesses or follow social pages sharing photographs and thank them.
This week's update has economic development news, a rare update on the Critical Care Center, and a look at the Winston-Salem apartment market! Lets get updated! 
I'm better (parents are doing well and have electricity), but it's still sad to see what happened to the area where I grew-up. It's rough to look at and I usually find I don't want to look at it. I'm helping a friend and his wife move to Atlanta and now two other friends have heard about this and also want help moving down here. Zack said he needs some sort of state certification, so keep that in mind if you're moving from Asheville to a neighboring state. Staying with friends or family for a few weeks is a good way to start your move. I will add that I missed home for several years after moving down here. Be prepared for that. Continue to pray for those in Western North Carolina and donate or volunteer if you can. It may take a decade for the area to recover? A major issue is the lack of flood insurance.

Development Sites:
Forsyth County will hire HDR Engineering and Jones Lang LaSalle to find 16 new economic development sites and find how much it would cost and how long it would take to convert those sites to shovel-ready sites. The county wants four sites suitable for each of these economic development categories: Advanced manufacturing, aerospace & aviation, life sciences, and corporate headquarters.

1913 Lord & Burnham Conservatory Restoration:
Maybe the conservatory is older than we thought? chadwickorchidretail said, "The newly renovated Brown Family Conservatory whose grand opening is Tuesday.
The original structure was built in 1909 and every attempt was made to preserve the charming details including copper gutters, curved glass and hot water heating." reynoldagardenswfu said, "Join us for the official opening of the Brown Family Conservatory and Reynolda Welcome Center on Tuesday, October 8 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m."
