Preston Development Corp and Jim Goodnight have been acquiring large tracts of land in Chatham County for years. Now, they are revealing that they intend to build a large commercial business park that rivals Research Triangle Park. The development would be large-scale enough that it would also include retail and residential components.

They released this promotion video last week on what they are calling "Chatham Park":

This 7,000 acre development would have a huge positive impact on Chatham County as well as on the Tirangle as a whole!

Did you know there is a tiger rescue program right here in the Triangle?

Carolina Tiger Rescue is a not-for-profit organization in Pittsboro, North Carolina that exists specifically to provide a permanent home for unwanted and/or abused endangered animals. Carolina Tiger Rescue also rescues animals that are in need of help. From tigers, lions, cougars, and primates...Carolina Tiger Rescue has them all!

Carolina Tiger Rescue is providing excellent living conditions for previously malnourished, abused and even abandoned big cats and other domestic and exotic animals.

I didn't even know that Carolina Tiger Rescue existed in this area and, even better, they provide tours on weekends. What a great way to enjoy a Carolina afternoon with the family.
