Sites

There is large supply of affordable building sites, including Certified Sites, throughout North Carolina's Eastern Region that are suitable for a wide variety of businesses and manufacturing operations.  Many of these are certified through the NC Certified Sites Program.  

The North Carolina Certified Sites program showcases premium business locations that have undergone a rigorous pre-qualification process to ensure they are “shovel ready” for immediate development.

To obtain the Certified Sites designation, communities must undergo a stringent review process that demonstrates that they’ve addressed 31 prerequisites including:

  • Business/industrial use designation
  • Phase I environment audits
  • Geo-technical studies
  • Topographical analysis and maps
  • Aerial photography
  • Availability of public utilities
  • Industrial power quality
  • Engineered site development plans
  • Detailed analysis of development cost
  • Complete information on pricing
