HIGH POINT, N.C. — A Tesla dealership could be coming to the Triad.
Charlotte-based Woodhaven Development Group recently filed a rezoning request with the city of High Point. The city's planning and zoning commission said the developers want to bring a 'major automotive company' to the site at 2620 North Main Street.
A source close to the company confirmed to WFMY News 2 Friday that the company is Tesla. This would be the first Tesla dealership in the Triad to open.
The development company asked the city to rezone the area for general business. The city did not share when it plans to consider the matter. It must approve the request before anything can move forward.
The site currently sits on the vacant lot where Gold's Gym used to be.
Tesla would become the second major car company to put its roots down in the Triad in recent years. Toyota is building an electric vehicle manufacturing plant at the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite.
The plant will create thousands of jobs in our area. Toyota is investing nearly $4 billion into the site.
The company plans to open the site in 2025.
