Plus, our extensive transportation infrastructure, including divided highways and a customer-focused railroad, will get you there quickly!

Besides our outstanding transportation access, manufacturers will appreciate our area's low land costs, as well an extensive, affordable utility capacity. With extensive fresh water capacity and plenty of electric power at competitive rates, as well as 20+ years of landfill space, Bertie County can accommodate even the largest and most demanding new facilities. Our portfolio of resources (and local industrial base) is well-suited for woodworking, milling, and cabinetry providers; companies that mold and form plastic components and packaging; and assembly operations.
