【 摘 要 】

Once referred to as the "vale of humility between two mountains of conceit," North Carolina has transformed itself from its humble origins to a progressive state embracing the new millennium.From the boom of the Research Triangle to the financial banking hub of Charlotte, the state stands out on many indicators of progress, prosperity and leadership.Yet the very problems that have plagued the state for centuries endure, and the residue of these is the very issue Southeastern North Carolinians must address.Persistent poverty, affordable housing, low incomes and enduring racial inequalities are the age-old problems plaguing our region.Coupled with remarkable population growth and a growing immigrant population, the face of Down East is changing – and how we respond is critical to our future.A number of suggestions on economic development for areas of poverty are suggested.
