We also, I think our founder, Simon Green Atkins, also started a hospital.
And so, the purpose of that was to serve this East Winston community, this region.
If you know Winston-Salem, you know tobacco was king for a long time, so a lot in this region was built upon that tobacco and that industry.
So when that left, it kinda left a void in this region.
Winston-Salem State has been here since 1892, producing teachers, producing nurses, producing the talent for this region.
We're still a key part of this region.
We have approximately $200 million impact to this area.
So I can't imagine Winston-Salem without Winston-Salem State.
And so, and that's what I'm telling people, I'm telling people that story and again, pushing everybody to dream about what's next.

Is it biomedical research?
What is the next for the Triad region?
We have to be at that table helping to develop that next story.
