North Carolina was built on big ideas & bold action.

North Carolina was built around two critical economic drivers: a vast railroad system and a massive highway system, spanning from the coast to the mountains. With the help of elected leaders and a strong business community, these two big ideas paved the way for future economic development that positioned North Carolina as a major economic force. Although costly, the public at the time saw these initiatives as an investment to grow North Carolina and prepare it for future generations. Carolina Strong will help support our state’s new set of economic drivers. 

"Carolina Strong is needed in our state. It's the right organization, at the right time, to help ensure our economy grows, and we advance big ideas and policies for infrastructure. I am excited about Carolina Strong and look forward to seeing it grow and thrive to help all parts of NC."

- Representative Brenden Jones
