This Month’s Issue: Piedmont Gems

Central North Carolina is home to booming research and education centers and our two largest metro areas (and, yes, the traffic that goes with that). It also has a rich history in agriculture, the arts, textiles and high-quality furniture production, all of which you’ll find in the Piedmont to this day. In this issue you can learn about another Piedmont point of pride —  Richard Petty Motorsports — and where a new generation is taking the legacy. Also, electric co-ops are making strides in spurring local economic development.
