Asheville NC Startup
Southern Business & Development:
"Asheville has long been known as a destination for outdoor recreation and the arts. Tourists flock to the Biltmore Estate and wind down the Blue Ridge Parkway. In recent years, Asheville has also become known as “Beer City USA,” for the 19 breweries now located there. But more than culture and entertainment have attracted new business there.
With major company announcements from GE Aviation ($126 million) Linamar ($315 million) and New Belgium ($175 million) in the past five years, the area is literally booming. Companies are locating to Asheville because of the skilled and trained workforce (especially in advanced manufacturing) and the pro-business climate."
