Need to get Labcorp to move East out of Burlington to this area…

Feels mean to kick Burlington while they’re already way down, but it makes so much more sense for LabCorp to be in an area they can actually recruit tech and medical talent.

Perhaps should move to Durham/RTP as it would be a better fit?
employees don’t want ‘suburban’ anymore…North Hills would be great for a life sciences Fortune 500 company that is looking for young talent all the time. Try getting a bio-medical engineering graduate from NC State, Duke or UNC to move to ‘Burlington’…RTP, in its current form is not much more exciting.

While I do agree with the main point of RTP not being exiting, employee’s “wants” is going to have much sway, IMO

At least at North Hills they can pretend that they aren’t in the suburbs.

Entry level employees. Once their brain fully develops they all move to the clean, safe annd pleasant edge cities. Assuming they have not already wasted all of their savings on $2000 month studios and $10 craaaaaaft beers.
You would be surprised by the amount of development in Alamance County. New, actually affordable housing being built especially in Mebane. Lab Corp employees can actually afford to live near where they work.
