The Greater Fayetteville Chamber will hold its annual State of the Community on Aug. 29 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Crown Complex Expo Center, 1960 Coliseum Dr. This premier gathering offers a unique opportunity to engage with community leaders, network with peers and gain valuable knowledge to drive your initiatives forward.
Last year's luncheon saw a record-breaking crowd of 600 attendees, and this year's event promises to be even more impactful. The impressive lineup of keynote speakers includes Mayor Mitch Colvin, City of Fayetteville; Mike Nagowski, CEO of Cape Fear Valley Health; Dr. Marvin Connelly, Superintendent of Cumberland County Schools; Megan Gerber, President of Longleaf Pines Realtors; Robert Van Geons, President and CEO of Fayetteville Cumberland Economic Development Corporation, and Christopher Chung, CEO of The Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina.
With the Greater Fayetteville Chamber's annual State of the Community event just around the corner, it's clear that our community is poised for continued growth and prosperity.
Fayetteville, the largest city in Cumberland County, is a thriving hub with a vibrant downtown, rich arts and culture, and strong ties to our service members. Recent investments, like the $40 million baseball stadium, are sparking additional growth and expansion opportunities.
The latest reports show that Cumberland County ranks eighth in North Carolina with 16.46% business growth, $6,584 gross domestic product growth, 5.40 new building permits per 1,000 homes, and a 1.61 gross domestic
product growth index.
President and CEO Nat Robertson of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber encourages residents to attend and contribute to conversations that will shape the future of communities.
