Charlotte Regional Business Alliance
People keep coming to the Charlotte Region. About 100 people a day, in fact. Why do they come here? They come for jobs in a healthy and growing economy with thriving health care, finance, and professional services sectors and a tech talent pool growing twice as fast as the national average. They come to start and grow businesses in a region with an educated, talented and innovative workforce, regularly ranked in the top three places to start a business. They come for a lower cost of living and affordable real estate in neighborhoods fit for any lifestyle – from vibrant urban centers, to suburban cul-de-sac to quaint small towns and rural areas. And 226 days of sunshine a year doesn’t hurt either.
