Additional comments "The
military is an important part of who Cumberland County is and why we offer
our industries skilled and hard working employees, ex-military members
choosing to stay in the area.
We embrace the military and work to improve
communications and create an environment for cooperation and collaboration.
Now working with companies such as ITT, AMC, Lear Siegler, Raytheon and
others, the community is seeing more job growth.
These companies have typically employed civilians and
recently parted military members within the post environment, but space
available is in short supply. We are now aiding these companies as
they move off post and create jobs in industrial park settings.
Fayetteville, NC is one of the most diverse communities in
the world, and our melting pot offers unique opportunities to those who
understand the real benefits of our truly patriotic, home town community." |
