The NC Marine Industrial Park Authority is North Carolina’s marine industry expert. The Authority has a proven track record of success in developing the best-practice Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park and supporting the development of all facets of the marine industry. Creative EDC was engaged to build on that foundation of success and set a course for the Authority’s future.
The strategic planning process included input from the marine industry, local and state governmental partners and agencies, and the Authority Board of Directors. The resulting goals ensure there is space for marine businesses to locate, expand, and startup in North Carolina, raise awareness of the industry and career pathways, and develop emerging segments of the industry.
