North Carolina Ranks Among the Best on <br />Business Climate, According to Site Selection <br />North Carolina has the nation's second -best business climate, according to Site Selec- <br />tion magazine. In determining the annual rankings, Site Selection asked corporate real estate <br />executives to rate which states they thought had the best business climates, based on recent <br />experience. That accounted for half of the overall score, while other factors, such as perfor- <br />mance in the magazine's annual competitiveness ranking, total new projects so far this year <br />and state tax burdens also were weighed. Site Selection determined North Carolina to be the <br />nation's third -best business climate in 2014. <br />http: / /www.bizjournals.com /charlotte /blog/ morning- edition / 2015 /11/ north - carolina- ranks - among- the - best- on- business.htmI <br />rileerifigs ArEefiaea ifi <br />Noteworthy News & Events <br />October: <br />Industrial Council Meeting: November 12, 2015 from 7:30 <br />AM to 9:00 AM at the Chamber and EDC Board Room.
