North Carolina Economic Outlook Calls All NC Residents!

Join the three North Carolina Business Journals for a statewide virtual event as we hear from local leaders discussing the business climate in the state. The conversation will stem from findings through a recent research survey conducted by The Business Journals with North Carolina business leaders and will arm our region, small business owners and local officials with the best information available to plan the coming year.

COVID-19 County Alert System

North Carolina is experiencing high levels of community transmission of COVID-19 statewide, but the virus is impacting some counties particularly hard. The State has established a COVID-19 County Alert System to give individuals, businesses, community organizations, and public officials another tool to understand how their county is faring and to make decisions about actions to slow the spread of the virus. The COVID-19 County Alert System uses metrics informed by the White House Coronavirus Task Force and North Carolina’s key metrics to categorize counties into three tiers:

Yellow: Significant Community Spread
Orange: Substantial Community Spread
Red: Critical Community Spread
