Encompass Health Winston-Salem Hospital:
This project will open on October 8, with 143 new employees and 68 beds. The official ribbon cutting is today, though.
Hotel Indigo:
Kitchen equipment has arrived. They still haven't installed the windows on the ground floor. They have plastic over the ground floor window openings. However, they appear to be very close to that step. I can confirm the stair tower has topped-out and work has started on the underground parking.

New Jobs - Piedmont Hoist & Crane:
Piedmont Hoist & Crane will move their headquarters and crane manufacturing operations to Winston-Salem. I love cranes, so this is an exciting project! This is a two phase project. Phase I addresses their immediate need to add more crane manufacturing space and Phase II will add the office space for their headquarters and additional manufacturing space for cranes, allowing the entire company to move into this one building. They have acquired the site and will own and construct their own building! Yes, they are also a general contracting company! Smith Architecture will design the building, with construction starting in November and the first phase opening in March 2019. No incentives are involved. This company designs and builds massive cranes for the U.S. Navy, Boeing, and many more. It's a great headquarters to have in Winston-Salem and it will be awesome to have cranes made in this city!

Alternative Transportation:
Passageway Park: Built! 
Do you know if this project is completed? It appears to be completed? I see the wayfinding is now in place and the park is hosting artsy events, like puppet shows, art pop-ups, and live music. This is a beautiful renovation of a Brutalist concrete downtown alley from nearly 50 years ago. Originally, this alley connected other streets to Winston-Salem's former downtown pedestrian mall and an enclosed ice skating rink. The pedestrian mall was demolished decades ago and this alley, designed as a shortcut to the pedestrian mall, is all that remains of it. It's great to see it used for events.
