North Carolina has been selected as having the best climate for business for 2010 by Site Selection Magazine. North Carolina has dominated the annual selection for the last ten years, winning six years in a row and 9 out of the last 10 (reminds me of the same domination in NCAA Basketball!).
The rankings are based 50% on state performance and 50% by a survey of corporate site hunters. The article lists several strengths of NC including higher-education resources; work-force training initiatives; moderate climate; and transportation infrastructure (Do you hear that NC DOT? Winston Salem needs the Northern Beltway to help NC...sooner than later!). The magazine also stated the proactive business recruiting by the governor.

I'm participating in the Carolina Blog Brawl, which is being held by the RDU RE Bar Camp. The contest this week is for 2 posts: One that is humorous and one that is hyper-local. The format is kind of like the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. There are 16 participants and you go head to head with another agent. I need a favor. Click the link in the email below, look for my 2 blogs, and VOTE FOR ME!!! Feel free to comment on the blog as well (always good for SEO). This is going on for several weeks, so if I make it past the first round, I may send a few additional requests.
My dogs, like most, love going on walks. If they hear the leash or collars rattle, then it's on! They are barking and jumping around like they are on a pogo stick. Dogs are allowed at all Winston Salem parks if they are on a leash. Washington Park, however, has a great dog park and you are allowed to "unleash" your pooch.
