Edgecombe and Nash Counties along with the City of Rocky Mount are leading an effort to develop a Vision and Strategic Plan for the Twin County Region. The Twin Counties Visioning and Strategic Plan Process is an opportunity for residents and community leaders to develop a road map for transforming the two-county region into a sustainable community that is prepared to participate in the new world economy. 

So far, the people in our region have come together to identify key issues and to create a vision statement. Now it is time to develop a strategy for the action we will take to reach our vision together. You can participate by serving in an Action Team or an Action Forum. Click here to learn more.
