Deputies discover puppy mill; more than 100 dogs in unsanitary conditions

DAY PLANS, TOO. COMING UP. DYLAN, THANK YOU. WINSTON-SALEM FORSYTH COUNTY SCHOOLS RELEASED AN UPDATE ON HOW THEY’RE WORKING TO ADDRESS A $42 MILLION DEFICIT. THE DISTRICT SAYS IT HAS PAID DOWN NEARLY $3 MILLION OWED TO VENDORS. OFFICIALS EXPECT TO PAY ALL BUT THREE OF THOSE VENDORS BY JUNE 30TH. THE DISTRICT IS NEGOTIATING PAYMENT PLANS FOR $16 MILLION OWED TO A COMPANY THAT HIRED SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS, A CUSTODIAL CONTRACTOR AND THE FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE FOR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS AND OTHER EXPENSES. THE DISTRICT SAYS IT WILL RECEIVE NEARLY $2 MILLION FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE FOR OVERPAID FOR OVERPAYMENT OF UNEMPLOYMENT SECURITY FUNDS. OFFICIALS TELL US THAT MONEY WILL GO TOWARD PAYING DOWN DEBTS AND REDUCING THE DEFICIT FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. THE LARGEST JOBS COMMITMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY IS COMING TO THE GATE CITY. THE AVIATION COMPANY JET ZERO IS CHOOSING PTI AIRPORT AS THE SITE FOR ITS $4.7 BILLION AIRCRAFT FACTORY. THE COMPANY AND STATE LEADERS SAY GREENSBORO IS THE PERFECT HOME FOR THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER. THERE IS A TREMENDOUS WORKFORCE HERE AND NOW PEOPLE KNOW OF GREENSBORO AS A HUB FOR AEROSPACE AND INNOVATION. I THINK IT WILL ALSO BE A MAGNET WHENEVER YOU DO SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE, YOU’RE GOING TO DRAW OTHER PEOPLE TO THE STATE WHO ARE COMING HERE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. JET ZERO HOPES TO GET THE PLANES BUILT AT PTI UP IN THE SKY BY 2030, SO CONSTRUCTION ON THE FACTORY WILL START NEXT YEAR. GOVERNOR JOSH STEIN WAS A BIG PART OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT. HE SAYS THAT THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STATE AND THE TRIAD. WE ARE MAKING GREENSBORO A CENTER OF AEROSPACE IN THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT’S JUST TREMENDOUSLY EXCITING. AND WITH WITH THAT IS GOING TO COME SO MANY OTHER BENEFITS IN TERMS OF BRINGING NEW PEOPLE, BRINGING MORE MONEY, MORE INVESTMENT, NEW BUSINESSES. FRANKLY, THERE WILL BE INDUSTRIES THAT COME HERE THAT WE CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE AT THIS DAY AND TIME. GOVERNOR STEIN SAYS MORE THAN 14,000 NEW JOBS ARE COMING TO GREENSBORO AS A PART OF THE INVESTMENT. THE CHANCELLOR OF NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY IS ALSO EXCITED FOR THE FACTORY TO BE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM CAMPUS. JAMES MARTIN SAYING, QUOTE, THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JET ZERO IS AN ENORMOUS WIN FOR EVERYBODY IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD REGION. IT’S STRONG VALIDATION OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BECOME GRAVITATIONAL AS A REGION FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY, FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND FOR NEW PARTNERSHIPS. GUILFORD TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS ALSO GETTING READY TO HELP FILL THE DEMAND FOR THOUSANDS OF AVIATION JOBS IN OUR AREA. THE SCHOOL IS PLANNING TO BUILD A NEW 70,000 SQUARE FOOT AVIATION CENTER AT ITS CAMPUS IN COLFAX. IT’S JUST MINUTES AWAY FROM PIEDMONT TRIAD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, WHERE JET ZERO WILL EVENTUALLY BUILD ITS PLANT. THE BRAND NEW FACILITY WILL EXPAND ON GTC’S CURRENT AVIATION PROGRAMS AND ITS TRAINING. WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT IS THAT PARENTS AND KIDS THAT ARE COMING UP IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL REALIZE THAT THESE ARE REALLY GOOD PAYING JOBS, AND THAT THERE IS CAREER ADVANCEMENT. SO IT IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO GET INTO AN INDUSTRY THAT CLEARLY ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE EXCEPT FOR IN THE SKY. AND, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THE THE JOB POSSIBILITIES WILL CONTINUE AND WILL ATTRACT EVEN MORE COMPANIES. GE AVIATION PROGRAM TRAINS STUDENTS FOR CAREERS IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE AND MANUFACTURING. IT ALSO TEACHES THEM ABOUT ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS, WHICH JET ZERO WILL USE TO BUILD ITS PLANES IN THE TRIAD. JET ZERO IS THE THIRD AEROSPACE COMPANY TO SET FOUNDATIONS AT PTI AIRPORT. IT’S ALREADY THE HOME TO HONDAJET AND BOOM SUPERSONIC. HONDA JET HAS BEEN DEVELOPING AND MANUFACTURING JETS THERE FOR THE LAST 24 YEARS, WHILE BOOM SUPERSONIC IS IN THE EARLY STAGES OF BUILDING A FACILITY THERE IT WILL BE THE FINAL ASSEMBLY LINE TEST FACILITY AND DELIVERY CENTER FOR ITS OVERTURE SUPERSONIC AIRLINER, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE FLIGHT IN 2029. YOU CAN SEE OUR FULL COVERAGE OF THE JET ZERO ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE NEWS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY RIGHT NOW O
