Piedmont Triad Region Equitable Growth Profile of the Piedmont Triad Region Policylink and PERE 2 Summary
Equitable Growth Profile of the Piedmont Triad Region Equitable Growth Profile of the Piedmont Triad Region PolicyLink and PERE 2 Summary Communities of color are driving the Piedmont Triad’s population growth, and their ability to participate in the economy and thrive is central to the region’s success now and in the future. But slow growth in jobs and economic activity – along with rising inequality and wide racial gaps in income and opportunity – place the region’s economic future at risk. Equitable growth is the path to sustained economic prosperity. By growing good jobs, investing in its increasingly diverse workforce, and infusing economic inclusion into its economic development and growth strategies, the region’s leaders can put all residents on the path toward reaching their full potential and secure a bright economic future for the Piedmont Triad.

The Western North Carolina Railroad, 1855-1894
THE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD, 1855-1894 A thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School Western Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by William Hutson Abrams, Jr. August 6, 1976 PREFACE The Western North Carolina Railroad was the instrumental force in opening up the isolated communities of Western North Carolina. This paper will deal primarily with the construction of this railroad which left Salisbury, climbed the mountains to Asheville, and continued to ter.ninal points of Paint Rock and Ducktown, on the Tennessee Line. The difficulties encountered during construction will be emphasized along with the political aspects that went along with construction. Emphasis will be placed on the time between the State's acquisition of the Railroad in 1875 and the completion to Murphy in 1891. An introductory chapter will briefly cover the start of the railroad in 1855, its role in the Civil War, and the delays in construction caused by the scandals of the Reconstruction Period. Starting with 1875, a vital element in the construction, convict labor, will be dealt with. The management of the railroad varied between state and private ownership. It suffered the financial pains that many early lines endured. Most of all, it was hindered by the ever present problem presented by nature as the track was built through so~e of the roughest terrain east of the Rocky Mountains. This was really the significant feature of the railroad because at many times its further construction seemed to be impossible. Political, financial, managerial, and labor problems testify to the trying task that was accomplished and to the desire of the people of the western part of the state to have their railroad. -
