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.
Three new projects, including a new North American headquarters, and sadly one rare cancelled project. Lets get updated!
Someone contacted me to say... this will be the song of the summer (It's likely too early to say?):

Mill 800 Apartments: Cancelled 
It's rare for developers to ever announce anything is cancelled in this city. Usually, we suspect something is cancelled, but have to wait for a "For Sale" sign or the announcement of a new project / developer to officially know a project is cancelled. I've suspected this project was cancelled and now we have the "For Sale" sign to make it official. If you're interested in buying it, contact Baldwin Properties. This space was originally proposed as office space and then apartments, with a construction set, last year. It was the last phase of the multi-phase Mill 800 project. So, it does have completed apartments next to it.
The big "For Sale" sign that tells us this project is cancelled!

STADLER America (North American Headquarters):
STADLER America is preparing to construct a new building, at 3089 Centre Park Court in Winston-Salem, with roughly 11,000-square-feet of office space and roughly 11,500-square-feet of industrial space. The building will have another roughly 5,500-square-feet on a second floor. This is being called the German company's "American office," so it's expected to become their North American headquarters. They are moving from one of the neighboring metro areas in the state and this will be a sizable expansion over their existing space. Yes, Winston-Salem is attracting an expanding employer from one of its larger neighbors.

Event Center & Food Truck Park:
Charlotte-based developer, KB Holdings Development, has purchased the buildings at 1243 North Patterson Avenue for... you guessed it... an event center! And it becomes our event center of the week! It will also have a commissary kitchen for food trucks and the space next to it will become a food truck park for 17 food trucks, as well as vendors. It will also become a pick-up location for home delivery services. This is located on the far northern end of downtown.

Gateway Nature Preserve Observation Platform:
Gateway Nature Preserve is building a trail system in the Meadow area of the preserve. They have been working on preparing the site by clearing invasive plants, picking up garbage, and getting the site ready for construction. Their meadow trail system will continue their mission of connecting people to nature by providing an additional space where the community can enjoy flora and fauna up close. They are extremely excited to have new trails to host new educational and exploratory events for the community. If you're looking for a way to take part in this project, they are currently seeking donations to help pay for it.

Alternative Transportation:
Amtrak at Union Station:
The match for the Winston-Salem to Raleigh Amtrak route is 20% at only $85,328,800. That money would upgrade rail infrastructure on the K Line to support new intercity passenger service from Winston-Salem to the NC Line, which leads to Raleigh. The cost includes necessary infrastructure, stations, and passenger equipment to begin service with three roundtrips per day. They need the 80/20 federal grant to move the project forward.
