Wake County Economic Development Competitors

The City of Fayetteville is ‘Can Do’ Carolina, a community with a central location in both the Carolinas and the East Coast, that is home to over three hundred thousand people and includes Fort Liberty— the largest U.S. military installation in the world. Fayetteville is the 6th largest city in North Carolina. Many in our community are deeply rooted in the local tradition of getting things done through hard work, determination, service and generosity. Others from across the country and the world have joined this tradition, and together we are building the next great region of the Carolinas. We count on our military connection, engaged citizens, diverse economy, excellent arts scene, and three outstanding area colleges — to help us move towards that future. With a thriving downtown, state-of-the-art baseball stadium and new development throughout the City, there’s no end to what we can do.
