Great Economic Development News for Winston-Salem and the Chamber
Congratulations to Wachovia/Wells Fargo on its decision to grow its trust center and specialized services group in
Winston-Salem, preserving hundreds of jobs and adding 100+ jobs here. This is good news for our community and confirms Wachovia’s continued commitment to
Winston-Salem. Your Chamber has worked throughout the past year to make the business case for keeping and growing these jobs here and we were able to make a convincing case largely due to the local business climate. We stand ready to work with any business that is located in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County that wants to expand. Please call us at 336-728-9200 if we can assist you and your business.
