Currituck County, N.C. boasts one of the lowest tax burdens for personal, business and real property in North Carolina (and far lower than those in neighboring cities of Virginia). In addition, Currituck County offers new and expanding businesses vast incentives and resources for development, from machinery and sales tax relief, to custom workforce training programs and reimbursements, to grants that offset investments.
Defense and aerospace industry businesses often require a large amount of space for buildings and test facilities. The region has a wide variety of available buildings, land and area developments to consider for your commercial real estate search.
Veterans, families of veterans, and recent graduates are just some of the specialized and skilled labor pool that the Mid-Atlantic Defense and Aviation Corridor has to offer.
In fact, the region hosts more than 100,000 active-duty and reserve personnel, and 40,000 civilian employees of the military. With this strong military presence in the area, employers can draw from job applicants who have training in many different technical fields and who have opted to stay in our region. In addition, graduates from the region’s many colleges and universities offer a constantly renewing source of educated labor.
