Investors
Economic development in Asheville and Buncombe County is a team effort. Our community relies on the leadership and investment of more than 80 private Asheville businesses, organizations and local governments. These investors help the EDC strategically expand high-growth industries and attract higher wage jobs to the Asheville area, creating better opportunities for our residents while increasing county and city investments in our economy.
Investors make a five-year financial commitment that offer the business and community many benefits. New labor income and industry growth create a ripple effect in the metro Asheville economy, increasing demand for industries like professional business services, banking, real estate, health care, supply chain products and more.
