A commitment to protecting our status as a top state for business in the country.
North Carolina has risen from the 12th best state for business in 2013 to a top state for business five years in a row (ranking by CNBC). We’ve risen from 40th in our tax policy state ranking to #11. We’ve fixed a broke and broken unemployment insurance system that now runs a stable surplus. We’ve also attacked regulatory reform at all levels of government, enabling businesses to do what they do best – create jobs and better the livelihoods of the communities they serve.
Continued success and sustainable growth will require intentionality and leadership. Together, the business community and all levels of government must work cooperatively to not only protect our status as a top state for business but also actively pursue opportunities that will advance a strategic regional, national, and global competitive advantage for North Carolina.
The North Carolina Business Playbook identifies five key focus areas for advancing the business and legal climate in North Carolina.
