Abstract:

This special NORTH CAROLINA magazine community profile supplement discusses Rockingham County, a county currently in a state of economic transition. Longtime employment mainstays, like textiles, furniture, and tobacco, have declined, but the manufacturing knowledge of the residents and the county's location near major commerce-ready highways attract diverse industries to bolster the economic downturn. New industries include distribution, transportation, plastics, automotive parts, and tourism.
