Just in case you missed it, the Richmond County Daily Journal published a nice story this weekend highlighting Central Park NC's approach to regional development. In short, it's about marketing the area as a region. Dr. David Jones, chairman of the board for Central Park NC, put it best in telling the paper:

"No single county can go it alone," Jones said. "It needs to be a regional approach to economic stimulation. The resources are out there. A lot depends on the leadership, how willing they are to take risks and be more imaginative in economic development."

The 8-county area that comprises Central Park NC has a lot to offer enthusiasts of all sorts. Check out the sites featured throughout our website and visit this blog to hear more about upcoming events and things to do.
