Economic Development

Named after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of King George III, Mecklenburg County is strategically located between Richmond, VA, and Raleigh, NC. Points throughout the county boast access to excellent four-lane state highways and/or interstate freeways, which means you get the best of both worlds; rural lifestyle and city access.

Our business climate is diverse which creates a strong location environment for prospective investors. Mecklenburg County has also taken the initiative to create several training institutions specializing in manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and computer based courses to support the current and future workforce.

Why Mecklenburg?

We have nine business/industrial parks, all with available land and each with a graded pad ready to build on. Our business-minded, progressive County Board of Supervisors has demonstrated their forward-thinking plans in equipping our diverse business parks with infrastructure suitable to all of your business start up needs. Mecklenburg County’s tax rates are among the lowest in the state and our land is very affordable.
