Local government

that supports businesses

In Stanly County, North Carolina, our local elected officials and government agencies know that healthy businesses are critical to having a healthy community. That’s why they take a very cooperative and supportive approach to dealing with new and existing companies. Beyond our low tax rates and generous state and local economic incentive packages, you’ll see that attitude in streamlined process for obtaining permits, licenses, and titles. You’ll also notice a fast-track approach to developing infrastructure. A great example of that is the recent expansion of Highways 24 and 27 to a four-lane divided highway that makes it easier to get to Interstate 485 and everything the Charlotte region has to offer. Utility rates and construction costs are very low, too, so building and operating a facility here can help you maximize your profitability. And our two postsecondary educational institutions partner with employers to deliver custom training to provide or enhance workplace skills.
A well-connected infrastructure: rail, interstate, air.
