RALEIGH – The Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC) has invited local economic developers from all 100 counties in the state to an event examining five building blocks necessary for rural communities to capitalize on the state’s economic momentum.
“Energizing Rural North Carolina: The Building Blocks of Successful Economic Development,” will be held July 12-13 at The Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst.
The event will explore how infrastructure, workforce, education, health, and leadership shape economic outcomes in rural communities.
The event, which the EDPNC is presenting with key partners including the NC Rural Center, will feature expert speakers and case studies intended to inspire participants to identify and pursue actionable economic development strategies within their own rural communities.
