North Carolina Ranked Third Place In the USA for Doing Business!

NORTH CAROLINA RANKED THIRD PLACE IN THE USA FOR DOING BUSINESS!

Forbes is Business and North Carolina is Approved!  Okay!  Let's get excited!!  Those of us in the Tar Heel state have always said we have a great place to live and work, and now we have further confirmation!  It's nice to be able to brag a little, especially right now in this economy, don't you think?  May I add this too, we've kept our property prices reasonable, in an effort to not overstate values. 

We've moved up from last year's ratings, which was number five! 

5 to 3    <----I drew this, can you tell?  ":>)

We've created more jobs in NC than 46 of the other states!   N.C. Governor Purdue has recently stated , "There's nothing I love more than convincing a corporate executive of what a great place this is to live and work."   Well said Madam Governor!

How does the NC Triad Region  (including Greensboro, High Point and Winston Salem) relate to jobs in the past few years? 

Answer:  North Carolina was hit hard with the loss of so much manufacturing and exports in recent years.  However the Triad attracted more fields such as transportation and logistics and that's started to make a big difference.  The state is poised to handle the demand for higher skilled workers because of our strong state educational system.  (reported from the May, 2010, Piedmont-Triad Economic Summit held in Greensboro, NC)
