#DYK - Key take away at @jccEDU 's Breakfast Before Business event? President Dr. Vern Lindquist, who shared remarkable news: this spring, JCC enrolled more than 6,000 students and has grown over 60% since 2021—making it the fastest‑growing community college in the nation.

Here in @jocogovNC we are extremely fortunate to have workforce development allies and partners at the @jccEDU and @JCPS_NC. These partnerships allow the @JoCoEconomicDev to remain competitive.

This is something the @JoCoEconomicDev office is working to change in JoCo. Unfortunately 70% of 125K workers leave daily. But this can be seen as an opportunity when attracting new companies considering the County as citizens would much rather live and work in their community.

Photos of the completed Wilsons Mills Rd/US70 (Future I42) interchange. The removal of lights at Swift Creek & Wilsons Mills Rd is a competitive advantage. Soon this section will be 70mph. Allowing businesses and residents quicker access to Raleigh and the Triangle Region. @NCDOT

A standout contributor to the community's prosperity is the Kenly 95 Petro, (Exit 106 on I95) and owned by the @Iowa80group. This establishment has not only generated hundreds of quality jobs but has also contributed millions to the State and County's financial resources.
