Franklin County’s allure has more than one source. Its closeness to the college “Triangle” of Duke University, the University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University, as well as the economic expansion of the Research Triangle, mean that high-reward business growth and high-tech job opportunities are readily available. Franklin County’s rural atmosphere is the perfect complement to nearby Raleigh-Durham. Of course, Franklin County’s natural beauty, nestled in the heart of the North Carolina Piedmont, is probably its most attractive asset!

Franklin County has blossomed into a community with a diverse group of home styles. There are historic and colonial homes; locally popular, these styles reflect the rich history of the county, dating back to the 1770s. Farm homes, log cabins, and rustic Cape Cods add to the “country” appeal. For those with contemporary sensibilities, beautiful town homes and gated commu-nity developments are available, carefully planned to enhance the area’s small-town charm.

Ronnie Goswick, director of the Franklin County Economic Development Commission,

is excited about the outstanding growth and opportunities Franklin County has seen in

recent years. He is also very optimistic about where the county is headed.

“The most recent innovation in Franklin County is the inclusion of a shell building in the

Triangle North Franklin,” said Goswick. “The modern business owner needs both office space

and warehouse/manufacturing-dedicated

areas. The large, tall, and adaptable shell

building provides an inexpensive alterna-

tive for prospective company owners to

start their business.”

Business incentives are also a big

draw for new industry. Considerable

cost savings are available for businesses

in the region. In addition to Triangle

North Franklin being classified as a Tier One, Goswick says there are plenty of other

incentives available from the EDC and the state.

“Business owners can take advantage of 7 percent investment tax credits with no

threshold,” Goswick noted. “In addition, eligible taxpayers that invest at least $10 mil-

lion in real property within a three-year period and create at least 200 new jobs within

two years at an establishment located in a Tier One county, are allowed a credit equal

to 30 percent of the eligible real property investment.

“Other incentives available from the state include sales and use tax discounts,

exemptions, and refunds,” Goswick continued. “Businesses may also qualify for

discretionary programs and other cost-saving plans. The Franklin County Economic

Development office can help businesses apply for and answer questions about

these programs.”

Connoisseurs of fine American cuisine know all about North Carolina’s distinctive barbe-cue style. Two local proprietors of Franklin County offer their mouth-watering takes on this great North Carolina tradition.

Neil Holden, of Holden’s Barbecue in Youngsville, describes the region’s distinctive cuisine. “North Carolina-style barbecue is dis-tinguished by its vinegar-based barbecue sauce,” he said. “There are two ways to do North Carolina barbecue: you can cook the whole hog — everything but the squeal, as the locals say — in the ‘Eastern’ style, with a vinegar and pepper sauce, or you can barbecue the ‘Lexington’ way and use only the pork shoulder, with a vinegar and ketchup-based sauce.”

Johnny Gardner, owner of Johnny’s Barbecue in Louisburg, notes that this all-American cuisine has local roots. “North Carolina is the real home of American barbecue,” he said. “Since the 1800s, North Carolinians have used hardwood coals to slow-roast pork for full tastiness and melt-from-the-bone tenderness. In my humble opinion, nobody does barbecue as good as North Carolinians.”
