Making the rounds today is this (possibly pay-walled) N&O article on how the Triangle is a great place to do “tech” business.
Raleigh-Durham ranked first or second in six of the study’s eight critical performance measures. The categories were designed to measure the cost of doing business, the cost of living and the quality of life.
Yes, Chapel Hill is a part of the Triangle but we need to forge ahead and be apart from the Triangle.
Investing in a municipally-sponsored network and improving our Town’s technology infrastructure, while demonstrating our tech savviness, will also lower the cost of doing tech business. Jettisoning the development ideals of car-crazy Raleigh-Durham, leveraging this new infrastructure, will help improve our quality of life.
Both will heighten our economic attractiveness – distinguishing Chapel Hill as a city on the rise.
