NC Carolina Core economic developers/local government officials from Cumberland, Moore, Montgomery, and Alamance counties and from the Piedmont Triad Partnership hosted 10 members of the team from Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC). As can be seen in the photo, the lunch meeting took place at BHAWK Distillery (Brad Halling American Whiskey Ko.) in Town of Southern Pines, NC -- an impressive venue with great food and drink. The session allowed four of our Carolina Core communities to talk about their assets and for EDPNC folks to talk about trends and current client activity. Everyone was engaged and interested in learning more from one another.
