Charlotte/Raleigh and Entrepreneur

[Tayfromcarolina]

For all of you all thinking about starting a business; Myself included. If you live in Charlotte area or the Raleigh area consider yourself blessed. Entrepreneur magazine has just listed this years rankings.

Charlotte is #2 and Raleigh #3. Last year Raleigh was number 1 I believe, or maybe that was another magazine. Either way. Congrats to Both cities.

Check our the listings here. Entrepreneur Mag.

Both cities are running neck in neck! Great news though for the state.

News14 ran a story yesterday about the "Small Cities" list, with a focus on Fayetteville. Apparently a great deal of renewal has been underway in Fayetteville lately, and it has attracted a fair amount of new business. The video footage they had certainly surprised me.

The city also has a great incentives program for people looking to relocated downtown. I think this is great for Fayetteville. Having a gigantic military base doesn't do much for an urban image, so I'm glad the city of Fayetteville is getting recognition that it needs.

NC cities on the "Small Cities" list:

2 Wilmington, NC

23 Greenville, NC

31 Asheville, NC

39 Jacksonville, NC

51 Fayetteville, NC

87 Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir, NC

121 Rocky Mount, NC

139 Goldsboro, NC

Congrats to that area, especially in light of their recent furniture manufacturing plant closings.
