Goal
3: Revitalize the traditional economic sectors and ensure
their competitiveness in national and global markets.
The
transformation of North Carolina's traditional economy
— including the manufacturing and agricultural industries
— is well under way. In economic terms, this transformation
involves a shift from traditional to knowledge-based manufacturing
and a greater focus on international trade. In human terms,
it often means layoffs and economic hardships, a burden
felt disproportionately by rural communities. Strengthening
these industries for the long term will require investments
in innovation, modernization, and new ventures.
