Business Beats Season 1

Feel the business beats!

By Faith Hatton, posted 7 months ago

It’s been a busy weekend for the Greater Fayetteville Business Journal! For those of you who may have seen by now, we have a new featured video segment aimed at further spreading the good news happening in the greater Fayetteville area called Business Beats! 

This new segment will be a weekly recap of the most important business news from the previous week in a short, two minute news format featuring videos, photos and whatever else we can get from the community! 

This was a passion project of mine that began last year when we ran Business Beats as a radio segment on our local Beasley Media radio stations. What began as a 30-second advertisement has developed into something I think will be of great use to the community, a way to show and not just tell about the multi-million dollar deals, city and residential improvements and special businesses that can only come out of Fayetteville!

I look forward to seeing what Business Beats becomes as it continues to grow and develop. This segment will be available on Saturdays at noon (for those who like to sleep in) and can be found on our Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube pages to start. 

As more news continues to break, we are excited to include this new branch for the Greater Fayetteville Business Journal! 

We hope you enjoy this issue. Featured stories include a $1 million development announcement for the town of Roseboro, some words from regional banks in response to a recent federal rate decrease (page 5), an upcoming drone competition (page 13) and the most recent commercial development news out of Harnett County (page 14)! 

Happy reading!
