• Assistance with the delivery of training programs for the development of transferable skills required by industries or companies that will increase the number of jobs available to the public.
• Assistance to help fund pre-development costs associated with public infrastructure improvements, such as water and sewer, which would result in job creation.

Testimonial
In an effort to respond to the diverse economic development needs of North Carolina, then State Representative Martin Nesbitt introduced legislation creating the regional economic development partnerships. It was this extraordinary insight that allowed AdvantageWest to become one of the most innovative and nimble economic development programs in the state.
