To markets We go here’s a fresh idea: from spring through early fall, stock your

crisper drawers and fill your pantries with the best in local foods

from the Thomasville and Lexington farmers markets.

The Thomasville farmers market is located on the corner of

guilford and Commerce streets beneath the water tower in downtown

Thomasville. it is open from may through september, Tuesdays from

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon.

The Lexington farmers market is located at 29 Railroad street at

the historic railroad and freight depot and is open from may through

october, saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon and from June 20 through

oct. 13 also on Wednesdays from 4 to 8 p.m.

Both markets feature vendors who farm in Davidson and

surrounding counties.

Dive in! Things are going swimmingly

these days at Blue stone Dive

Resort.

The 19-acre man-made lake just

outside Thomasville is actually a

former slate quarry once owned

by martin marietta materials, now

Lockheed martin. in 1994 Robert

outlaw, who owns Blue Dolphin

diving resorts in greensboro and

Winston-salem, purchased the

lake and surrounding acreage and

renamed the property after the

blue slate found in the quarry.

Today, Blue stone is open

saturdays and sundays from

9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and divers

can experience a full day of

underwater fun for $20. The

resort opens each spring on

Easter weekend and operates

through october.

Wheels of fortune The Piedmont Triad omnium, a three-day, premier

bicycling road race in Davidson County, raises thousands of

dollars for the national multiple sclerosis society each July.

The event is a usa Cycling-sanctioned event and welcomes

approximately 300 top cyclists each year. Each day of the event

features a race, each with a different discipline.

friday night competitors race laps in

uptown Lexington around a 3/4-mile

closed oval course. saturday morning is

devoted to individual time trials around

a 12-mile loop that begins at Davidson

County Community College. The third

fROM MaNUfaCTURING TO MassIvE sOLaR fIELDs, GREEN ENERGY TakEs Off IN DavIDsON COUNTY


davidsoN CouNT y 11

As the classic 1960s song goes, “the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind,” so was the answer

to growth at a Lexington fiberglass plant, which is finding strength in the renewable energy industry. And here’s a little hint: It’s not the only Davidson County company boosting its bottom line by drawing energy from Mother Nature.

PPG LexingtonPPG Industries is a huge

international company with plants in more than 60 countries, but in 2009 things didn’t look so promising for its Lexington plant. The factory, which makes fiberglass yarn specially designed for use in wind energy turbine blades, was forced to lay off more than 100 employees as the recession put plans for wind farms on hold. At one point, according to plant manager Todd Douthit, the facility was operating at a fraction of its capacity.

Today, with the economy looking more robust and utility companies developing more sustainable sources of energy than ever before, PPG has strengthened its niche as one of the world’s top suppliers of fiberglass

construction materials for the wind power industry. With that positioning, the Lexington plant has increased production and added more than 180 new positions. A recent study by the Oceana Group revealed that the waters off the North Carolina coast represent 22 percent of the wind generating capacity of the entire East Coast. That’s enough capacity, if tapped, to power the 12.7 million homes in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia combined.

sunEdison Lights the WayAnother (literally) shining symbol

of the county’s leadership in sustainable energy went online in 2010 when SunEdison turned on its new solar power plant. At the time of the launch, about four megawatts of power were available, but the farm is expected to produce 16 megawatts when completed. That roughly translates to adding enough carbon-free power for 1,600 homes to the electrical grid.

The company’s 365-acre site in

Cotton Grove Township will be one of the largest solar photovoltaic farms in the country when construction is complete. By then, it will have about 64,000 panels that automatically rotate to follow the sun’s path. The downside to solar power is that it’s not constant –panels only generate electricity under sunlight – but it is an extremely low-maintenance form of power generation.

SunEdison sells the electricity it produces to Duke Energy, which owns and operates the electrical grid, under a

Clockwise from above: ppg industries in lexington manufactures fiberglass yarn used in wind energy turbine blades; a worker at ppg packages fiberglass for a customer; honda Civic that runs entirely on natural gas.



20-year contract. Duke partnered with the solar power company to build this $170 million-plus facility as part of its overall renewable energy portfolio, which includes wind, solar and biomass sources. The company’s goal was to sell 12,000 megawatt hours of electricity in 2010, and 10 times that amount by 2018 as part of the state’s mandate to energy companies to aggressively grow generating power from sustainable resources.

Whether it’s making clean electricity

on an unprecedented scale or manufacturing the materials to develop new wind-power generators or solar collectors, Davidson County leads the way in sustainable energy.

Driving forceMeanwhile, the City of Lexington

has also made green headlines lately by purchasing five alternative energy vehicles for its work fleet. Two of the vehicles are hybrid Toyota Prius cars, and the other three are Honda Civics

that run entirely on natural gas.“Performance is exactly the same

with the natural gas cars compared to petroleum-powered vehicles, but the emissions are much, much cleaner with natural gas,” says Rick Comer, Department of Public Works director with the City of Lexington. “All five vehicles were purchased with federal grant money through a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program, and the primary reason for getting them is obvious – pollution control.”

place and character. The painting is classic Bob Timberlake – from the way he captures shadows to the way he’s using the painting’s limited reprint to raise money for charity.

Davidson County heritageFor 40 years, the Davidson County native has built an

international reputation by capturing – and sharing – iconic landscape and still-life imagery of North Carolina, from the Appalachians to the Outer Banks. Though he made his name

Bob Timberlake:LexIngton

one of davidson County’s most notable residents, Bob Timberlake, 73, is celebrating 40 years as a professional artist and 20 years as a furniture designer.



by representing the entire state, the Lexington area holds a special meaning for him.

“My family and my wife’s family have been in this area since the 1740s,” Timberlake says. “Both of our forefathers were instrumental in the Revolutionary War; they raised an army of patriots to battle Cornwallis in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.” They were later singled out by Loyalists and assassinated for their efforts to end the King’s reign.

Timberlake BrandWith such deep lineage in the area (as he jokes, he’s

probably somehow related to half the people living around Lexington), Timberlake is serious about seeing his neighbors do well. It’s become a running theme as he’s built a line of home furnishings around the Bob Timberlake brand. In 2010, he signed a new contract with Century Furniture Company, a highly regarded North Carolina manufacturer, in order to increase the amount of “World of Bob Timberlake” products made in his native state.

“I’m just incensed that we’ve been so stupid to ship our jobs, our know-how and our heritage overseas,” Timberlake

says. “I got to a point where I’ve said ‘no more.’ I’m not going to let them ship anything else of mine overseas.”

Since it launched 20 years ago, Timberlake has fought to help protect local jobs, in the face of a furniture industry that’s guilty of off-shoring so much production. He tries to make sure as many goods as possible in his line are sourced from this area.

Timberlake will be adding more products – including door and cabinet hardware and stoneworks – to his signature line. Offering U.S.-made products has become a large source of pride for him, and items made in North Carolina are even more special.

Made in North Carolina“Imagine if every time you and your friends went into a

restaurant, you asked the waiter if they offered any North Carolina wines,” he said. “Think about how that would affect the industry around here. Before the Civil War, this state was the biggest wine producer in the country.”

Likewise, that sentiment applies to local woodworks. Timberlake hears stories of many customers who come to the High Point Market looking specifically for North Carolina-made furniture. The stronger that reputation for quality becomes, he believes, the better the local industry will fare. As he sees it, that’s not important just for his own business, but for the entire Lexington area that he considers to literally be family.

The early morning sun illuminates the area of Bob Timberlake’s studio.

hall of FameIn 2010 Timberlake was inducted into the American Furniture Hall of Fame. He also reaffirmed his commitment to manufacturing furniture in North Carolina and has contracted with Century Furniture Co. to continue the “World of Bob Timberlake” collection.

davidson County might have become well-known as a center for furniture manufacturing, but the

area was not going to sit back in its rocking chair and watch the changing economy pass by. While furniture and textiles remain the root of Davidson County’s economy, a number of new businesses have entered the region in recent years, including several technology-based companies.

“There clearly has been a surge in activity,” says Jim Donnelly, dean of the School of Community Education, Workforce Development and Entrepreneurship at Davidson County Community College. “We’ve had the opportunity to bring in some different kinds of businesses that I think will

help us build a more broad-based economy, whereas we used to be perhaps a little more narrowly focused.”

vitacostOne such company is Vitacost,

a leading online retailer and direct marketer of health and wellness products. Vitacost opened a 113,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution center in Lexington in 2008, and announced in 2010 that it plans to expand that facility to approximately 225,000 square feet. The company says the expansion will enable it to double the average number of orders processed from 500 per hour to 1,000 per hour, with maximum capacity of 1,700 per hour during peak utilization.

investor relations at Vitacost, says the company chose Davidson County as its East Coast hub for a variety of reasons.

“There is an accessible workforce to draw from, and it’s a very centrally located place to put a distribution center,” Reed says. “Plus, temperature-wise, this area has very acceptable levels of humidity, which is important in the manufacturing of supplements.”

Telworx CommunicationsAnother recent arrival to the region

is Telworx Communications, an equipment distributor for the telecom industry. In 2005, Telworx moved its headquarters to the Welcome area and built a 40,000-square-foot warehouse.

Peter Sangimino, Telworx marketing director, says Davidson County’s knowledgeable workforce appealed to company officials.

“We needed to add about a dozen warehouse people one month, people who had technical knowledge, and we were able to find employees fairly quickly,” Sangimino says. “There is certainly a ready and willing workforce in the area. Also, the ability to buy enough land to allow for expansion was important as well.”

TIMCO and OthersTIMCO Aerosystems announced it

will start a manufacturing operation in

Wallburg in 2011. The plant will make airline passenger seats and interior systems. The company plans to invest nearly $5 million in machinery, equipment and upgrades to an existing 120,000-square-foot facility. The plant is expected to create nearly 300 new jobs almost immediately and employ 500 people within seven years.

“That’s an example of a different kind of business coming here, yet they’re hoping to leverage some of the workforce we already have, because there certainly is an upholstery component to what they’re doing,” Donnelly says.

Other companies that have made the move to Thomasville include CV Products, a developer of auto racing components, Xceldyne Technologies, a manufacturer of titanium valves and components, and fuel-pump manufacturer Xtreme Fabrication.

“There are a lot of things that have always made this a good place to do business, and those things still exist,” Donnelly says. “We have an available workforce, a commitment to supporting businesses, relatively inexpensive land, and a community college system and workforce board that can help with hiring and training.

“We’re optimistic we’ll continue to see more companies who will consider Davidson County as a good place to call home and do business.”

Better and BetterTWo ChaMBErs TaCklE iMprovEMENT plaNs

Both the Lexington and Thomasville chambers of

commerce are experiencing slight overhauls these days to better themselves as they enter 2011. Here are a couple specific initiatives:

Lexington area ChamberStrengthening partner relationships

to enhance the chamber’s overall effectiveness is top priority right now at the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce. Those partnerships will hopefully lead to more economic success stories in 2011, says Burr Sullivan, president of the Lexington Area Chamber.

“It takes more teamwork than ever to be effective in today’s demanding atmosphere,” Sullivan says. “We are working closer with organizations such as the Davidson County Economic Development Commission, the

Edward C. Smith Civic Center, Uptown Lexington, Davidson County Tourism, the Lexington Tourism Authority, Davidson County Community College and others.”

Sullivan adds that the Lexington chamber is also increasing its number of annual functions to benefit members.

“These are a combination of educational events and networking/fellowship events,” he says. “Our chamber is getting even more focused in 2011 for our membership and the entire community.”

Thomasville area ChamberIn 2009, the Thomasville chamber

began a five-year capital campaign called Thomasville on the Move, with a goal of raising $1 million. The primary goal of Thomasville on the Move is to re-energize economic development

efforts within the community.“We want to get Thomasville back

on the map with several promotion and marketing strategies,” says Doug Croft, president of the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce.

One of the first projects is establishing a new chamber headquarters in a renovated building that will be known as the First Impression Business Center. The chamber will occupy that building on Randolph Street in early 2011.

“The whole Thomasville on the Move initiative is geared toward getting prospective investors back to looking at us again,” Croft says. “Our city has a good quality of life, good transportation access, it’s a good place to invest, there are good schools, good home prices and a low tax structure. We want more companies doing business in Thomasville.”

While davidson county might be most famous for its barbecue, there’s more in the area to keep guests and residents alike entertained. from the many county and neighborhood parks to the lakes and caves, Davidson County is full of fun places to spend an afternoon.

parksThe parks in Davidson County have some unique

features. Boone’s Cave Park is a beautiful and scenic

110 acres, filled with more than three dozen species

of wildflowers, walking trails to the yadkin River, a

1700’s-style cabin and a cave that is long rumored

to be the hideout of the legendary Daniel Boone.

Denton’s farmPark gives visitors the chance to

experience life from a different time – the park

features a 1.5-mile railroad track called the “handy

Dandy” (complete with steam train) that encircles

the park’s 15 restored buildings, including a

blacksmith shop, old-time post office, radio museum,

country store and aunt fannie’s Doll museum.

The uwharrie national forest is a popular destination

among locals for camping, hiking and more.

Davidson County is also home to more than 20

county and neighborhood parks, such as The Doak

skatepark, Childers, finch, grimes, and harrison

and veteran’s memorial parks.

spOrtsThe biggest sports events in Davidson County are

both cycling events – The Piedmont Triad omnium

and the Tour de Kale.

golf is also popular in the region, and the County

is home to some excellent courses such as Winding

Creek golf Club, sapona Country Club, Lexington

golf Club, Colonial Country Club, Willow Creek and

meadowlands.

for those who prefer team sports, the minor

league baseball team, the Thomasville hiToms,

plays every summer.

Water recreatiOnWith a few recreational lakes – high Rock,

Tuckertown and Lake Thom-a-Lex – and the yadkin

River running through the county, Davidson has

plenty of opportunities for many different water-

related activities.

two hospitals are better than one, and residents of Davidson County are lucky to have a pair of award-winning medical centers in their community. here is a brief overview of Lexington memorial hospital and Thomasville medical Center.

lexingtOn memOrial hOspitalThis 94-bed community hospital represents 20 specialties and has

800 employees, including 120 physicians. Lmh provides services that

include surgery, an imaging center, critical care unit, birthing center

and 24-hour emergency department.

thanks, Wake FOrestas a gift to Lmh, Wake forest university Baptist medical Center

in Winston-salem has pledged up to $5 million in matching donations

through 2013. The money can be spent in a variety of ways to benefit

Lmh, including equipment, renovations and community wellness

programs.

Lexington memorial and Wake forest Baptist originally formed a

partnership in 2008 that allows Lmh to have access to Wake forest

Baptist’s expansive network of medical resources. it also allows Wake

forest Baptist to have a larger marketing presence in Davidson County,

with the two medical centers being only 20 miles apart.

Wide range OF services

Lmh operates a Wound Care

Center that provides specialized

treatment for chronic or non-

healing wounds, which may result

in life-threatening infections,

possible amputation and debilitating

health problems. other services

that Lmh offers include a dietary

department, joint replacement

center, pain center and sleep lab.

thOmasville medical center

The original City memorial

hospital of Thomasville opened

in 1930 and changed its name to

Thomasville medical Center in 2001.

TmC has 149 beds and is regarded

among the top patient care facilities

in this region of the country.

accreditatiOnsThomasville medical Center

is now accredited with the

prestigious Joint Commission,

which evaluates hospitals for

patient safety and clinical quality

improvement processes. TmC has

also received accreditation as a

national chest pain hospital from

the society of Chest Pain Centers.

in addition, the hospital has

earned national sleep center

certification from the american

academy of sleep medicine,

along with national stroke care

certification from the american

stroke association.

spaciOus e.r.in 2008, TmC opened a new

24,000-square-foot emergency

center, which quadrupled the E.R.

space that the hospital previously

had. Today, the emergency center

has 27 rooms compared to 10 in

the past.

TmC officials say the spacious

E.R. was needed in large part

because of the growth in popu-

lations of retirees and of families

choosing to relocate to Davidson

County. Thomasville medical

Center serves about 30,000

emergency patients every year.
