Did you know manufacturing has a ripple effect far beyond the factory floor?
Manufacturers support more than the people working inside their facilities. Their operations create demand for local suppliers, transportation, construction, professional services, restaurants and other businesses. This helps generate additional economic activity throughout the community.
That’s why Rowan County’s strong manufacturing base matters. When manufacturers invest, expand and create jobs here, the impact can reach businesses and families across the county.
