As the debate over a proposed downtown Greensboro performing arts center rages on, the N&R publishes a Q&A with Mayor Robbie Perkins, the PAC’s biggest booster.
Urgency was the theme of the interview. Here’s what jumped out at me:
“I believe that, as a community, we can do this. It’s not far-fetched. It’s not something that I would call….(long pause)…..Well, it’s not an extra. This is something that needs to be a part of our community to attract the kind of jobs we want to attract.”
Good to see there is at least some recognition in the mayor’s mind that a downtown performing arts center is a want instead of a need. But that recognition was brief, and onward he presses.
