ABOUT PITT COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Pitt County offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and big opportunity. Covering 656
square miles and home to nearly 180,000 residents, we are the 17th largest county in North
Carolina. Anchored by Greenville—our largest city and county seat with about 90,000
residents—Pitt County is a regional leader in education, healthcare, and innovation. Our 10
municipalities range from vibrant Greenville to Falkland, our smallest town with just under 50
residents, each contributing its own unique character and strong sense of community.
Pitt County Economic Development (PCED) works on behalf of the Pitt County Board of
Commissioners to strengthen the local economy by supporting existing businesses and advancing
product and site development initiatives. The department leads the County’s existing industry
program, maintaining regular engagement with local employers to assist with business
expansion, infrastructure coordination, workforce needs, and long-term retention.
PCED plays a central role in preparing competitive industrial sites, including industrial parks and
marketable sites to provide shovel-ready properties by managing due diligence, infrastructure
planning, and grant-funded site readiness activities. The department provides businesses and
partners with data, site inventories, and market information to support informed decision-making
and collaborates closely with municipal, regional, and state partners to align workforce
development, infrastructure investment, and economic growth strategies that support sustainable
job creation and tax base growth in Pitt County.
