The first-ever Carolina Core Real Estate Summit will make its debut Tuesday, September 13, 2022, from 1-4 p.m., at the Wicker Civic & Conference Center in Sanford, North Carolina. The event will be hosted by 12 real estate groups from across the state and will work to educate local realtors on how they can support and prepare for the project in their areas.

The Piedmont Triad Partnership announced the Carolina Core in 2018 with the goal of creating 50,000 office/industrial jobs in the Carolina Core by 2038. In just four years, over 35,500 office/industrial jobs have already been announced in the region.

The Carolina Core region encompasses a 120-mile stretch of central North Carolina along U.S. Highway 421, stretching from Interstate 77 to Interstate 95. The counties included in the Carolina Core region are Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Cumberland, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Harnett, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin.

CEO of the Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Association and the Greensboro REALTORS® Commercial Alliance Mike Barr shared what he anticipates to be the impact of this summit in a press release: “...We want Carolina Core leaders in the real estate profession, in other business sectors, and in government positions to know about the recent impressive economic development successes and to understand what we need to do to prepare for our short-term and long-term future.”
