Ask residents what makes Moore County special, and you’re likely to get a wide range of answers.  We’re “The Home of American Golf”, “Horse Country”, a popular retirement location, a great place to raise a family, and so much more.  

Ask local business owners, and you’ll get one simple answer:  Moore County is an advantageous business location.  Here is what some of our existing companies say about being in Moore County. 

“Hobbs Upchurch & Associates has offices in North and South Carolina, but we chose Southern Pines for our corporate headquarters.  We are conveniently located between the coast and the mountains.  Our location makes it easy to monitor projects throughout the Southeast.”    – Fred Hobbs, President, Hobbs Upchurch & Associates P.A. 

“When we decided to relocate our corporate headquarters from Charlottesville, Virginia, we conducted an extensive search throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.  We chose Moore County because it provides a quality of life that has exceeded the requirements for our employees and families.  I am pleased to say that after 7 years of living in Moore County, it continues to exceed my expectations.”    – Louis Scribner, President, Scribner & Associates 

“We moved here from San Diego and we love it!  Southern Moore’s upscale communities and the quality of life are important to us as we seek to attract key management and staff personnel.  The abundance of skilled manufacturing personnel and the quality of the training provided by the College [Sandhills Community College] were icing on the cake!  It was our love of horses that led us here, and it is the unique attributes of this area that caused us to locate the business here.”    – Bill Taper, CEO, Taper International Inc. 

 

 
  

Moore County leaders are committed to fostering a business-friendly climate and supporting economic development that compliments the exceptional quality of life we have here.
