Dell Computers Plans 500,000-s.f. Plant in Winston-Salem, N.C.

"We're waiting for more information from Dell as to what the requirement of its processes will be," Palmer said. "We feel confident that we can handle the project.

"If Dell wanted it built in the same time frame as the Tennessee plant, it would require running 24-7 shifts. If it's more like six months, we would run two shifts six days a week."
