Surry Business

Robin Rhyne, president of the Surry County Economic Development Partnership, is one of four representatives from the Piedmont Triad Partnership who are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this week to promote the region and attend a conference.

The group will meet with real estate and site selection consultants as well as attend the 7×24 Exchange Conference for companies who design, build, use and maintain mission-critical enterprise information infrastructures.

The Piedmont Triad Partnership’s other representatives are Heather Sauls, PTP vice president of client development; Bonnie Renfro, president of the Randolph County Economic Development Council; and Kathi Dubel, vice president of new business development and expansion services at the Greensboro Economic Development Alliance.

“Data centers are a recruitment target for the Piedmont Triad,” PTP President and CEO Don Kirkman told The Business Journal of the Greater Triad. “The Piedmont Triad is well-positioned to locate these kinds of operations with a low-cost utility structure, ready-to-go sites and a genuinely business-friendly environment.”
