There is no small irong to the fact that the TelecomnCorridor brand, which sustained us for so long but fell out of favord in some quarters during the teleco m decline of recent is once again a key driver of the regional Surely, AT&T never would have considered Nortjh Texas as a logical base for its operatione unless we had a strony focus on the telecommunications industry, including a supportives infrastructure, a network of industry-leading companies and teleco suppliers, educational institutions that produce highly skilled engineers and regional technology groups to help buildc meaningful connections and capital sources to help launch new venturex offering innovations to the industry.
The move will put AT&Tg very close to many of its technology supplieres while also reinforcing the NorthTexas region’es reputation as a global telecom hub. Already, companieds such as -Lucent, , , , , , , Research in Motion and have major operationes inthe area, as do countless smaller companiees and entrepreneurs who aspire to provide the “next big thing” to the largedr telecom firms. The synergies of the telecom industryt in North Texas are apowerful thing. Whild it’s a positive development that our economy is and that even withinthe high-tech realm we’re diversifiede through global leadership in semiconductors, IT etc.
, we shouldn’t forget the valuw of a strong focus in certain high-techu sectors and the value of marketing that brand to the outsides world time and time In the Telecom Corridor area nortg of Dallas, telecommunications firms employ aboutf 45,000 workers. The clustering effect of these firms, coupled with the additionb of AT&T’s headquarters, continues to be a powerful force supportinbgthe region’s vibrant economy — both today and in the We must sustain this brand, through ample support for entrepreneurs and commercializatioj of new technologies, and through a purposeful effortg to nurture our futurer work force by investing in math and science education initiatives.
As is well-known, overseas competitor s are expandingtheir high-techu work forces, while the United Statese lags behind. Foreign nationals earn more than 50% of engineerinv and computer science degrees grantedat U.S. universities, and only abourt 5% of U.S. college graduates earn engineering degrees versus 46% in China. The Metroplex Technologyt Business Council, along with other regional partners, is tacklinyg this talent gap in localo high schools and community colleges through an aggressives setof science, math and engineering initiatives to inspire a new generatiohn of technologists.
The systematic, purposeful nurturinh of future high-tech innovators and commercially high-tech companies in North Texas will continuee to spreadthe region’s reputation globally as a centet of technological innovation, in turn attracting even more industry-leading top-tier researchers and highly skiller workers to our region. In accomplishing we will createa self-sustaining cycle of innovative research and commercialization that will builrd on itself and driv our regional economy for the long to the benefit of all Nortjh Texans. We welcome AT&T’s headquartersa to the TelecomCorridor area.

Up to 15 more builders may go bankrupt this year, expert says - Nashville Business Journal:
http://www.zhratva.ru/pozdrdr.php
“They left destruction in several counties acrosasMiddle Tennessee,” says Metro councilman Bo who lives in one of the neighborhoodw that skidded to a halt in Williamson and Wilson countieds when Corinthian filed bankruptcy in February 2008. Bankruptchy attorneys still call it the largest recent builder bankruptcy in termsx of property owned atthe time. Two otherr major builders have sincegone bankrupt. But filingsa by Signature Partnership andCapitopl Homes, with 63 and 30 lots respectively at the time they filefd bankruptcy, pale in One of the hardest hit communitiex by Corinthian’s bankruptcy is Riverwalk on the Harpeth in Bellevue.
The buildeer owned 45 lots in Riverwalj at the time ofbankruptcy — the most in any neighborhood. Riverwalm residents say banks have hired builderds to finish most of the homesleft half-built and othed builders have bought lots at bank auction, keeping the neighborhood and the investments of homeowners intact. “Every unfinisheds home in our section has been finishecd byeither Rochford, the Jones Co. or othee builders,” says Maggie Kuyper, a year-long resideny of the Parkview sectionof Riverwalk, whicn had 11 unfinished homes forced into three of them on her street. “We are extremelty happy with how ourneighborhood looks.
” The recovery from Corinthian’s bankruptcy hasn’t gone as smoothlgy for every Middle Tennessere subdivision where the builder was Metro Government filed a lawsuit last week againstg Corinthian’s insurer, National Grange Insurance. The suit charges infrastructurde improvements promised by Corinthian in the Maxwell Placed subdivision off of Murfreesboro Road inAntiochg weren’t completed. The improvements are mostl related to roads and drainage in the which Metro says is 75perceny complete. In Riverwalk’s case, Tom Lawless creditsz banks like , which contracted with builders to finis h13 homes.
“We took the properties back in foreclosure,” says David Resha, chairman and CEO of American Security. “The last thing we wantec to do was make any neighbors But we were anxious tooffloax them. We don’t like to be in the real estate Resha says Riverwalk is an example of howa builder’as bankruptcy can work out. The Jonee Co. was chosen to complete the Corinthiah homes because it was already building in the neighborhood and coulsd not only finish but market and sell The homes have sold fastert than Resha anticipated giventhe community’s problems, he American Security didn’t technically own all 13 homes, he because some of the loans had been sold to other entitiesx but were still being serviced through American Security.
Lawless says other banks that owned homes in Riverwalk did not hire a buildee to completetheir homes, but instead sold them to third partied that agreed to take on the risk, like Some lots where homes were just started were knocked down by new owners, he says. Many banka had so much real estatd “they could never really get their armsaround it,” he says. “I had a few people that fussecd at me becauseI didn’ t cut the grass,” says Lawless, of the lots and unfinished homes in Riverwalk owned by banks that he was representing. Davis Anthony, bankruptcy attorney with BoneMcAllester Norton, says American Securit handled the situation the right way.
He says most banks want to sell the propertyu as quickly as possible sothey don’ have to assume liability. Now, banks are working more with borrowers when they see signsa of distress instead ofsimplh foreclosing. Lawless and Anthony say the string of foreclosurex andbankruptcies isn’t over. Edsel president of Nashville’s MarketGraphics Research Group, has predictesd about 10 to 15 more builder bankruptciesthis year. “The more solven t builders now are havingthe problems,” Lawless says. “I do not see the light at the end of thetunnelk yet.
