Davidson County has had a big year for industry and jobs. t looks like Lexington and Davidson County are undergoing an industry boom right now that could spark population boom. Siemens Mobility, Inc. is investing $220 million to build a major advanced manufacturing and rail services center in Davidson County, NC, creating 506 jobs. Between Egger Wood Products and Nucor, about 700 jobs will be created, paying above the county’s average wage.
The City of Lexington is looking at turning old textile and furniture manufacturing businesses, nearly three acres of land off East Second Avenue, into a mixed-use development for apartments and businesses. Davidson County ranks No. 1 in NC for highest visitor spending growth. And now, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd said it will open its first U.S. operation in the county creating 352 new jobs.
Although Winston is techically in the Carolina Core, it doesn't have a megasite in Forsyth County or its MSA. The state is planning on establishing new megasites, but it will be a challenge to assemble a megasite solely in Forsyth County because of terrain and fewer large parcels of vacant land. As such, I think the area needs to push for a megasite in northern Davidson County.
