"Multi-County Economic Partnership Dream Comes to Fruition at Triangle North"

Southern Business and Development's 2010 Small Town South  Edition features an article written by Nexsen Pruet attorney Ernie Pearson entitled "Multi-County Economic Partnership Dream Comes to Fruition at Triangle North."

Pearson and former N.C. Gov. Jim Holshouser coordinated the site selection process and authored the process for certifying sites for evaluation and development.

The article begins:  "This spring, Triangle North hosted a launch event in an effort to ask for 'help identifying and attracting growing businesses to its parks.' The project, previously known as the Kerr-Tar Hub, was conceived by an economic researcher at the University of North Carolina as a way to bring needed jobs and business to the rural communities near the Research Triangle. The area had primarily been a manufacturing economy until recently, when businesses closed or went overseas. This trend widened the gap between the urban and rural populations of the state in income, education and in employment."
