sinessSpotlight Chamber Sees Surge in Positive Economic Development News
our Chamber is happy to report that the Fayetteville-Cumber- land County economy is surviving and thriving. With reports that Cumberland County is 2ND in the U.S. in income hike
for 2009, operations in N.C. are leſt unscathed aſter military spending cuts, among other exciting and positive news, we are beginning to see this community driving to a higher level.
Aſter a state of the Fayetteville real estate market presentation by Dr. Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Real- tors, we still see that our community is at the top in terms of the hous- ing market.
Fayetteville was also listed in the Milken Institute’s top 20 best per- forming cities in the nation. Fayetteville ranked third in the state in
2010, behind Durham and Raleigh. In 2008, Fayetteville ranked 6th in the state behind Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, Raleigh, and Wilm- ington.
“Tis type of recognition from outside sources is great for the city of Fayetteville and the entire County,” said Doug Peters, Chamber Presi- dent. “It’s time that people see Fayetteville as a major player in the economic development of the State.”
Trough the Community Development Foundation, the Linda Lee Allan Legacy Fund, and all of our community partners, your Cham- ber continues to foster a healthy climate for existing companies to grow and prosper.
