Supply Chain Research

North Carolina’s economic competitiveness depends on a complex network of transportation, logistics, and infrastructure assets that move goods, connect markets, and support business growth. To better understand and strengthen these systems, the NC Chamber Foundation is releasing a research series focused on North Carolina’s long-term infrastructure competitiveness focused on the state’s supply chain and logistics assets and the role they play in long-term economic competitiveness. The series examines how the state’s ports, rail corridors, inland terminals, industrial sites, utilities, rural production regions, and broad range of logistics assets function together as an interconnected system, and where targeted investment, strategy, or better coordination could strengthen economic performance.
