RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker is
working with presidents of the state's three urban regional development
partnerships in a concerted push to promote North Carolina to national
location advisors and business media. Their initial plans call for
visits with site-selection consultants and journalists in New York City
in mid-November.
"It's exciting to see our largest economic regions coming together, and
I'm eager to collaborate in their efforts," Secretary Decker said. Plans
call for her personal participation with the presidents of the
Charlotte Regional Partnership, Piedmont Triad Partnership and Research
Triangle Regional Partnership in a series of outreach events in coming
months. The four will promote business opportunities in North Carolina,
specifically how economic assets along the "crescent" that connects
Charlotte, the Triad and Raleigh-Durham can support the needs of
growing, cutting-edge firms. "The high-wage jobs and high-dollar
investments that power our major metro areas are the fuel for North
Carolina's overall economic revival - moving the needle for us in the
near-term as we reconsider the longer-range infrastructure and workforce
needs of our state," Decker said. More here.
