When RTP opened in the 1960s, the vision was for big businesses to revive the Triangle's technology and medical footprint. That's exactly what happened, but RTP's success brought up a problem - it was exclusive to those people with a big company badge and not the general public. Over the past 10 years, RTP has evolved to include coworking and now the incredible shopping and dining experience Boxyard RTP.
Amanda Ronan is the Senior Director of Programming at Research Triangle Park (RTP).

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
