Vance County and the City of Henderson are located on the I-85 corridor just north of the Raleigh/Durham area and south of the North Carolina/Virginia State Line.
It is the LARGEST retail center between the Research Triangle and Richmond, Virginia. Though Henderson has historically relied heavily on the tobacco, cotton and textile industries for jobs and economic growth, in recent years, the retail market has been one of its major growth sectors. With its centralized location along Interstate 85 and U.S. 1, abundant water supply, mild climate, excellent medical, recreational and educational facilities and stable work force, Henderson continues to be an attractive location to businesses, developers and individuals alike.
We are fortunate to be the home of numerous businesses, industries, retailers, business services and hospitality oriented companies. We expect to continue seeing an expansion of these sectors of our economy over the next several years and invite you to become part of our community.
