Description
Please join us for the next B&I Committee meeting featuring:
Guest Speaker
Loren Hill, Carolina Core Regional Economic Development Director
"Economic Development along the Carolina Core" -
In addition to talking about how ACEC/NC members can best interact with local economic development groups, Hill will review the Carolina Core, which is a 120-mile stretch of North Carolina along US Highway 421/future Interstate 685 -- going from Yadkinville through Winston-Salem/High Point/Greensboro and on to Fayetteville. It is an area not confined by traditional borders but instead by impressive assets that make the region a globally competitive market: four megasites which have more than 7,200 acres along with other impressive sites; 30+ colleges and universities with 250,000 students; and a talent pool of more than 2 million people.
