Abstract:

Although Moore County is most known for its golfing opportunities, tourism is not the only industry that drives the economy. Diversification has brought in new businesses that take advantage of resources unique to the county. Such industries as real-estate agents and economic developers (like Situs Group LLC); R. Riveter which hires military spouses to make high-end bags from surplus military materials; Reitz Fan and Blower Inc.; Pactiv LLC, the world’s largest food packaging and food-service products producer; and health care all create the fabric of the Moore County economy.
