FOR YEARS, OUR LOCAL AREA HAS BEEN KNOWN AS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT thanks to our mild climate, beautiful beaches and southern hospitality. We are proud of that history and welcome the visitors who’ve come to love the region. Yet, there’s more to be discovered here — business opportunity abounds.

The Cape Fear Region brings together everything the most enterprising businesses need to succeed. Yes, we’re a great place to play. And, we’re a great place to work.

The four-county region is one of the fastest-growing in the U.S. The infrastructure is continually expanding to meet our needs. We attract and retain an eager and diverse workforce by investing in and offering excellent education and training programs. Residents easily access quality health care, capital, and community service opportunities.
And, there’s an abiding commitment to smart, sustained growth.

In this special publication by the Greater Wilmington Business Journal, you’ll find details on our business climate. You’ll read about many of the businesses who have chosen the Cape Fear Region as home—from Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurs to manufacturing giants and high-tech masterminds. Each chose the region for different reasons, and they all are finding success here.
