The_sandlapper 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2005 I posted these rankings a couple of weeks ago here. I guess it was the 2004 rankings. Anyway not very many people were happy with the rankings. I found it interesting though. Columbia still had the strongest economic ranking in SC this year too I see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krazeeboi 121 Report post Posted December 25, 2005 Interestingly, most metropolitan areas in the Carolinas slipped a few spots in the 2005 rankings, the only exceptions being Greensboro-High Point, Goldsboro, and Fayetteville. Charlotte only fell 2 spots, but Florence fell 43 spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
