Much like the ancient fertile crescent, North Carolina has its own quarter moon of manufacturing known as the BioPharma Crescent — a five-county region located in Eastern North Carolina, midway between New York and Florida, and about halfway between Raleigh to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. This puts businesses and plants within a two-day truck drive to more than 200 million U.S. and Canadian consumers.
The Crescent is also less than one hour from North Carolina’s famed Research Triangle Park, which is home to 600 life science companies. Highways connect Edgecombe, Johnston, Nash, Pitt, and Wilson counties to major consumer markets, international airports, and deep-water ports, making the area accessible to local, national, and international support.
Yes, it's manufacturing, but bio-manufacturing is done in GMP clean room environments and they require skilled workers. This is good news for the state and great news for Eastern NC as they continue to attract bio-manufacturing jobs. A couple working in these jobs together could bring home over $100k a year with minimal upfront training expenses. That might not seem like a lot nowadays, but it's well over twice the median income in these areas.
