The small town of Morrisville, North Carolina, has just landed a mammoth economic victory, with developers committing to build a $1B mixed-use life sciences campus this week.
But the development, one of the largest of its kind in the Southeast, wouldn't have happened without a coordinated effort to change the town's zoning in time to secure the project. Morrisville Mayor TJ Cawley said the land use changes, along with a new access road, were critical to avoid the 400-acre property turning into another warehouse.
