Abstract:
Vision 2026 is a Fayetteville non-profit which aims to revitalize the local economy through enterprise. Founded in 2016, the group was created to give input on many of the proposed projects for downtown Fayetteville. Current aims include the creation of a baseball stadium, a Performing Arts Center, a Civil War History Center, several parks, and two senior centers.

Abstract:
Fayetteville’s Vision 2026 plan has a two-fold mission: to spur economic growth, which may transform its current military town identity. How the business, government, and institutional leaders intend to make this vision a reality is through initiatives such as a baseball stadium, redevelopment of the historic Prince Charles Hotel, and a bond investing in park and recreation sites. Such initiatives may build on Fayetteville’s industrial base and make its county comparable to surrounding counties in terms of factors such as population growth.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, Fayetteville and Cumberland County's economy has benefited from rapid growth at Fort Bragg, but city and county leaders hope to diversify the economy beyond military employment. There is a projected reduction in federal defense budget and cuts for bases in general, so county leaders are promoting Fayetteville and Cumberland County towns as ideal for industries to employ veterans, military spouses, and others in the community.

Abstract:
The town named from a Revolutionary War general was a study in contrasts. It was home to attractive houses and unattractive city sprawl, a NC town with deep English colonial roots and Asian, Greek, and Italian communities. It became home to 30,000 plus veterans returning post retirement, often the same soldiers who resented their time at Fort Bragg. It had experienced much recent business growth in the past two decades, evident in businesses such as the convention-motel entertainment complex. Nevertheless, an economic home base could be found in the old part of the city, particularly in places like the Market House.
