County of Granville issued the following announcement on Jan. 30.
Granville County Economic Development Director Harry Mills was recently appointed to serve as a member of the North Carolina Economic Development Advisory Council.
This council provides advisory direction and support to the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC).
Mills will represent the “North Central Prosperity Zone” along with Michael Haley, Executive Director of the Wake County Economic Development Office. Mills was appointed to serve on this council by the current members of the EDPNC Board.
He will join a council of sixteen members representing the eight prosperity zones across North Carolina. Prosperity Zones are determined by the North Carolina Department of Commerce and subdivide the state geographically to provide localized support for economic development projects.
The North Central Prosperity Zone includes Granville, Person, Vance, Warren, Alamance, Orange, Durham, Wake, Franklin, Nash, Edgecombe, Chatham, Wilson, Lee, Harnett, and Johnston counties.
“I’m excited to serve on the EDPNC Advisory Council,” said Mills. “This is a fantastic group of professionals that work to improve the economic prospects of their communities and North Carolina as a whole. So many of the projects that come to Granville County and other parts of North Carolina would not be possible without the staff and advisory board members that work on behalf of the EDPNC.
I’m excited to represent Granville County and I look forward to working with this group of my peers to attract new businesses to North Carolina.”
