Economic Development Year in Review 2025

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNER UPDATES

STEELHOUSE STRENGTHENS LOCAL MANUFACTURING The Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship is transforming the historic Carolina Steel building in south Greensboro into The Steelhouse, a hub for urban manufacturing and community services. Supported by the City of Greensboro, the first construction phase renovated and reconditioned 32,000 square feet of shell space, and upgraded walls and windows, roofing, water and sewer systems, and electrical service.

OUR PARTNERS

The dedicated manufacturing center lists American Building Services, Inc., USA Insulation of the Triad, and KOGI Environmental Solutions among its initial tenants, who together will occupy approximately 40 percent of the available space. The project expands opportunities for businesses and strengthens the community by providing more than 220,000 square feet of manufacturing, food, health care, and community space.

INDUSTRY COUNCILS STRENGTHEN GREENSBORO’S BUSINESS BASE For more than 15 years, the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce’s industry councils have supported employers and strengthened Greensboro’s business community. Serving the manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, and aerospace/aviation sectors, the councils convene local businesses to address shared challenges and explore opportunities that impact the city’s business climate. Hosted by major regional employers such as Amazon, Honda Aircraft Company, Gilbarco, Parker Hannifin, Syngenta, Procter & Gamble, and the Harris Teeter Distribution Center, the meetings foster connections and exposure to local operations. Led by the Chamber’s Economic Development team, the industry councils ensure Greensboro remains responsive to employers and is positioned for long-term economic growth. www.SelectGreensboro.com
