Abstract:

Wright discusses the role Coastal Carolina Community College plays in attracting businesses to Onslow County. The college has an economic development team, which includes top-level representatives from the chamber of commerce, the sports commission, the military base, and the office of economic development. This group coordinates meetings between the county and interested businesses. The college's Center for Business and Industry Development is an essential part of planning an incentive package. The Industry Training and Small Business Center designs training programs for companies. The North Carolina Military Business Center helps match potential business partners with military business opportunities.
