National Manufacturing Week

Today wraps up National Manufacturing Week!

Manufacturing has the highest multiplier effect on job creation of any sector. 6/10 of Person County’s top employers are in manufacturing, and 5/10 of the top taxpayers in the county are manufacturers.

THANK YOU to those who choose Person County!!

I’m proud to have spent the last decade playing a significant role in supporting our existing manufacturers, recruiting new ones, and setting the stage for new opportunities through site location, site preparation, and infrastructure expansion, both during my time with Person County Economic Development and in my current private sector role as a broker and consultant.

As a candidate for Person County Commissioner, I ask for your vote to allow me to use my knowledge of our assets and the resources available to us as a local government to continue to increase opportunities for Person County into the future!

Experience. Vision. Commitment.

Early voting: 10/17 – 11/2 General Election Day: 11/5
