Abstract:
Stills, once perhaps a stigma, could now be a source of pride for the descendants of moonshiners. This was possible through the introduction of a modern day version: distilleries. Advantages this industry offered included its contribution to local job and economic growth, as well as the common usage of locally produced grain, fruit, and vegetables for its products.

Abstract:
Johnston County was the state's fastest growing county in 2004 and the fiftieth fastest in the nation. The year was also an outstanding one for business with more than $170 million in new business locations or expansions and creation of over 1,200 new jobs. Formerly an agricultural and low-end manufacturing community, the county focus is now on pharmaceuticals, distribution, and tourism. The county benefits from convenience and accessibility to three major highways, U.S. 70, I-40, and I-95; close proximity to the Raleigh-Durham International Airport; and Wake County and its thriving economy.

Abstract:
This special NORTH CAROLINA magazine community profile supplement discusses Johnston County, a county that benefits economically from its location. Two interstates and two U.S. highways pass through it, carrying products and attracting new businesses and people. An available work force, nearness to customers and access to ports in Wilmington, Norfolk, and Charleston are other reasons for its attractiveness to business.
