The North Carolina Railroad Co. is buying more land for a proposed industrial site south of Greensboro.
The railroad will buy an additional 100 acres for the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite.
Railroad president Scott Saylor tells the News and Record of Greensboro the purchase is in cooperation with the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite Foundation.
Saylor says the additional land will help ensure that the location can meet the needs of large-scale industry.
He says the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite and other large settings in North Carolina will improve the state's competitive advantage in recruiting a major manufacturer.
The site sits in the northeast corner of Randolph County on the Guilford County line. Local and regional economic developers hope the site will attract a car manufacturer or other heavy manufacturing company.
