Today I attended a listening session/discussion with the NC Secretary for the Department of Cultural Resources. Her Department and the Department of Commerce announced today an economic impact of creative industry across this state, nearly 300,000 jobs and an annual impact of $40 billion. More important though was the commitment of North Carolina to seize the moment, to push to both acknowledge and highlight the industry, and, lastly, to take steps to ensure that this economic driver - in general and in terms of economic development - is well-equipped and supported, going forward.
