High Point urged to offer affordable industrial sites to attract industry
State officials from the Development Department told High Point leaders that the city has rail and road access and good schools but lacks readily available zoned industrial sites at affordable prices. They noted rival cities price land at about 1500 an acre while prime land here costs around 10000, urging regional cooperation with Greensboro and Winston-Salem to create centralized industrial acreage.
