    Locked In Podcast - Can Festivals Help Build North Carolina’s Economy? | NC Folk Festival

    On this episode of Locked In with Algenon Cash, Algenon sits down with Savannah Thorne of the NC Folk Festival to explore the NC Folk Festival economic impact and the larger relationship between culture, tourism, private investment and economic development in North Carolina. The NC Folk Festival brings more than 135,000 people to downtown Greensboro for three days of music, food, art and cultural experiences. But while admission is free, producing a festival of this scale is not. The nonprofit must raise more than $1.5 million annually, making corporate sponsorships, individual donors and community support essential to keeping the experience accessible to everyone. The conversation examines an often-overlooked side of North Carolina’s economy: the economic value created by experiences. Ultimately, the NC Folk Festival economic impact raises a larger question for communities across the state: What happens when thousands of visitors arrive in a city and spend money at restaurants, hotels, shops and local businesses? Can festivals strengthen downtowns and support small businesses? Can music, food, arts and culture help North Carolina communities attract visitors, retain talent and become more desirable places to live? Algenon and Savannah also discuss the important role private companies play in supporting community institutions. Businesses are often criticized for generating profits, but those profits also give companies the ability to voluntarily reinvest capital into cultural organizations, nonprofits and community experiences like the NC Folk Festival. And, of course, they explore the festival itself — including what “folk” means today, the diversity of musical genres represented, North Carolina artists, food trucks, local makers, family activities and what visitors can expect when the NC Folk Festival returns to downtown Greensboro. It’s a conversation about much more than music. It’s about tourism, private investment, quality of life and whether festivals should be considered part of North Carolina’s broader economic-development strategy.

    Locked In Podcast - Did Greensboro Make the Right Decisions? Property Taxes, Data Centers & Growth with Robbie Perkins

    Former Greensboro Mayor Robbie Perkins joins Algenon Cash on Locked In for a candid conversation about the major decisions shaping Greensboro, North Carolina — from property taxes and data centers to downtown development, economic growth and the direction of the new City Council. Greensboro recently adopted a 79.85-cent property tax rate as city leaders wrestle with the rising cost of providing public services. At the same time, the debate over data centers has generated significant public attention and raised larger questions about development, infrastructure and how Greensboro should manage future growth. Perkins brings the perspective of someone who has actually occupied the mayor’s chair. He discusses how elected leaders balance public pressure with long-term decision-making, what he sees in Greensboro’s new City Council, the future of downtown Greensboro and what the city must get right as it continues to grow. The conversation also explores the increasingly influential role of social media in local politics and what Perkins learned from his 2025 campaign for mayor.

    Locked In Podcast - Why American Cities Are Changing: What Greensboro Can Teach Us About Growth

    From rising property taxes and housing costs to artificial intelligence, economic development, and declining public trust in institutions, local leaders across the country are being asked to solve increasingly complex problems. While every city has its own story, many are wrestling with the same fundamental questions about growth, affordability, infrastructure, and the future of public leadership. In this episode of Locked In with Algenon Cash, Greensboro Mayor Pro Tem Denise Turner Roth joins the conversation to explore these questions through the lens of one of North Carolina’s fastest-growing cities. Together, we explore what it means to govern during a period of rapid transformation. The conversation examines Greensboro’s recent property tax increase and the difficult balance between investing in public services while addressing affordability concerns. We discuss how cities compete for economic development in an era shaped by artificial intelligence and data centers, the opportunities and tradeoffs that accompany growth, and the challenge of preparing communities for an economy that is changing faster than government itself. We also examine how social media has transformed the relationship between elected officials and the public, the opportunities and challenges of serving on a relatively new City Council, and why downtown revitalization remains central to Greensboro’s long-term vision. Although this conversation is rooted in Greensboro, its themes extend far beyond North Carolina. Whether you live in a large metropolitan area or a growing small city, the questions explored in this episode are becoming increasingly relevant across the United States. If you’re interested in the future of American cities, economic development, local government, public policy, urban planning, leadership, housing affordability, or the forces shaping communities across the country, this episode offers a thoughtful, long-form conversation about where America’s cities are headed—and what today’s decisions may mean for the next generation.
