This is a huge issue as we move forward as a state, especially after COVID19. This is the time we need to capitalize on success. Right now NC is the 9th largest state in the USA and has the FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY since 2013 in the country. We need to make it easier to do business in NC and continue this positive trend. As we identify and reduce overreaching regulations, we increase folks’ desire to do business here. I applaud the current legislature for reducing corporate, personal, and business income tax. That is a positive trend that we need to continue. The future is bright for NC and we need to work to make sure that is true for all of FAR-WESTERN NC as well. Learn more
