The News: Project Catalyst hosts Tina Emerson and David Spratley speak with Brittany Brady, president of the Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development, about building economic opportunity across Western North Carolina. The discussion examines the role local economic development organizations play in positioning communities for investment, supporting business growth and creating long-term regional opportunities.
Project Watch Take: Western North Carolina cannot compete by imitating larger metropolitan markets. Its advantage comes from combining an established manufacturing base, skilled workforce, quality of place and close regional partnerships into a distinct site-selection proposition. Henderson County demonstrates how a smaller market can compete effectively when its assets are clearly defined and presented to the right companies.
