For the 5th year in a row, and eighth time in the last nine years, North Carolina ranks at the top for best business climate, according to Site Selection Magazine. Editor-in-Chief Mark Arend said, “The synergy between North Carolina’s research parks, corporations, communities, and economic developers at the state and local levels is a major factor in this year’s top ranking.”

The magazine describes the ranking process as “a blend of objective, actual new or expansion project announcements, and subjective input from corporate site seekers.”
