Abstract:

Salisbury’s present growth and development comes largely from 400 million dollars of business investments and billionaire Julian Robertson’s philanthropic support. Contributing factors include the town’s proximity to Charlotte and Greensboro and an Internet service company that spurred the multimillion-dollar investment.
