RALEIGH The North Carolina Department of Commerce Main Street & Rural Planning Center released a new digital tool on the organization’s website to give residents and visitors of North Carolina the ability to explore the state’s 66 “Main Street” communities. The tool, launched as a tourism-based economic development initiative, will be known as the NC Main to Main Trail, and is organized around each of the state’s eight prosperity zones.
“Main Street communities are economic engines for North Carolina,” said North Carolina Department of Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders in a statement. “The new NC Main to Main Trail initiative is an additional opportunity to support the economic recovery of North Carolina’s rural communities and small businesses.”
