Talk of an economic slowdown doesn’t appear to be hitting North Carolina hard. At least not right now when it comes to economic development in the state, where up to 88,000 jobs are up for grabs from expanding and relocating companies.

Supplement maker BestCo is investing $177 million and creating 394 jobs in Mooresville.
