Why Greater Statesville?


Statesville
and Troutman are both in an attainment area, and do not have the air quality restrictions that nonattainment areas do for industrial growth.  In addition, Statesville is served by two different water sources, which add to our ability to help businesses grow.  Electrical rates for industrial users from Duke Energy, EnergyUnited, and ElectriCities are among the most competitive in the southeast.


The Town of Troutman is also part of Greater Statesville and includes waterfront communities on Lake Norman. Iredell County is a thriving industrialized area, and the Greater Statesville service area includes more than 180 industrial operations, including plastics, transportation equipment, metal working, and distribution.

A new a speculative industrial building has been completed in the Statesville Business Park, located four miles on four-lane US 70 East, from I-77 Exit 49A.


Statesville has an outstanding labor force of over 80,000, with more than 12,000 jobs in manufacturing. A strength of the community is our skilled workforce and our customized worker training programs offered through historic (1854) Mitchell Community College.
