Onslow County - One of Six N C Counties to Benefit from Influx of Troops

Good news for Onslow and six surrounding counties came on Friday, October 12 from Lt. Governor Beverly Perdue. At a briefing with the commanding general of the Marine Corps Installations East, Lt. Governor Perdue announced that thousands of troops and their families would be moving into the area during the next five years.

Lt. Governor Perdue reminded all that the military has an $18 billion impact on North Carolina. A Military Growth Task Force has been implemented to help the area make needed preparation for the influx of approximately 25,000 active duty Marines, civilian staff and families.

Over the next five years, an additional 61,000 people (13.7 percent growth) are expected to move to Onslow, Carteret, Craven, Pamlico, Jones, Duplin and Pender counties. The president and CEO of North Carolina's Eastern region stated "this is the biggest announcement of economic development in North Carolina".

Well, we need these young men to help us keep our freedom and I am glad that they are in good hands to find their new homes.

Chythia, What wonderful news for these terrific people coming home and also wonderful news for you. You will be very fortunate to find eachother and I know you'll help them so much.

Hi Cynthia, I'm here in North Carolina I wanted to let you know that we do VA loans. A lot of loan officers shy away from them because they think they are hard to do, I think they just don't understand the loans. These guys and gals deserve good loans, and VA has a spectacular program. If you don't already have someone to refer them to, would you keep me in mind?

Cynthia-What a humbling opportunity that is for you to be apart of our service men and women's lives and how fortunate each one of them are to have you. They will be working with the best!

Hi Shawna,
Thank you for contacting me about your business. I currently work with some lenders that do VA but will certainly keep you in mind. Thank you for your visit and comments.

Hello Julie,
Yes, it is true to be able to work with these families is a privilege--they have taught me much. Thank you very much.
