"THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN THE PRIZE. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY. COME UP FOR AIR IN ENFIELD.  MAKE PLANS TO VISIT AND FIND YOURSELF IMMERSED IN OUR UNMISTAKABLE COUNTRY VIBE.  ENFIELD IS A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE STILL OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE YOUR OWN JOURNEY."

My vision

Business Recruitment Targets

Enfield will implement three overarching long-term strategies: 1) to stabilize and then reverse any additional population loss; 2) to implement substantial community development reform; 3) as growth does begin to occur, it should be focused in the direction of I-95 in order to support future development opportunities.

Industrial Recruitment

1. Work with the Town of Enfield officials and the Halifax County EDC to promote the existing heavy industrial properties in and around Enfield.
2. Focus recruitment efforts on relatively small-scale manufacturers and value-added processors, such as food products, plastics and wood manufacturing clusters that are appropriate for nonresidential land parcels in and around Enfield.
3. Proactively target recruitment targets that complement existing industrial and business activities in Enfield and surrounding counties.

Retail Business Recruitment

1. Collaboration with the Town of Enfield, contact franchise owners and national corporate headquarters for stores already located in the five-county region.
2. Primary recruitment target will include electronics stores, clothing stores, sporting goods and hobby stores, miscellaneous store retailers and food service.
3. Secondary recruitment targets will include automotive stores, building materials stores, personal care stores and general merchandise stores.
