Grassroots of Tarboro

To everyone who is looking for the perfect spot to live; looking for a beautiful historic town that is quiet and safe;  looking for a place where there are still plenty of opportunities for entrepreneurs to start their own business; looking for a place that has everything you think a little town should have...

Consider Tarboro, North Carolina.  The groundwork is in place.  The town is very pretty and well-maintained.  Homes are affordable and there are many existing buildings available to house your new business.

The people are very friendly and welcoming and smart and interesting and creative and anxious for positive changes to take place.  These same people are starting to work together and are making things happen in Tarboro.

Our downtown is partially revitalized, so there is already a core of businesses that are beginning to draw customers, but there is plenty of room for more businesses.  Just to name a few ... a bakery would be divine,  interesting arts and crafts would be well-received, a ladies' better clothing consignment shop has been talked about, an evening music venue would be popular, as would a restaurant with a great salad bar and healthy entrees, and another bed and breakfast.  

If you have an internet or technology based business, Tarboro is a perfect spot to call home.  It is an Embarq town with a good infrastructure. You can live in a quiet town, in a great old house, with no traffic jams, and be just over an hour away from the Research Triangle Park.

Tarboro is not perfect, but we're already working on enhancing what is here and creating the few missing elements. In 5 years things will be greatly improved and in 10 years, we'll look back and say "Wow, we knew Tarboro could be great!

Come to Tarboro soon, while things are just getting started. This is definitely a get in on the ground floor opportunity and we can use your help.  Come find out what it is like to build a town and be part of a community.
