The email from the governor’s office today stated,”Gov. Perdue Focuses on Green, Defense/Aerospace Jobs.” So you can just forget about that silly Dell plant closing in Winston-Salem despite lots of tax incentives from the state, county, and city. Cree is adding 575 jobs without any incentives and those are much more important:
“Green jobs are a cornerstone of my vision for building a 21st century global economy in North Carolina,” Perdue said. “This job announcement fits perfectly with my plan to grow a world-leading green economy in North Carolina that turns green into gold for decades to come.”
