DEMOGRAPHICS / ECONOMY
 
The Fayetteville Metropolitan region is the economic growth center of southeastern North Carolina. Location and demographics both play an important role in this expansion. This area is situated halfway between New York and Miami along the Interstate 95 corridor and within close proximity to Interstate 40. An outstanding workforce is enhanced by the continual influx of exiting military personnel from Ft. Bragg and Pope Air Force Base that are highly disciplined, well-trained in many technical fields, and have an outstanding work ethic. Many major manufacturers have found fertile ground in North Carolina’s soil, although the largest employers in this area are government installations that pour billions of dollars into the regional and state economies.
