Did you know that in fiscal year 2011-2012, North Carolina devoted more than $1.3 BILLION to economic development expenditures.  And that doesn’t even count what the local governments did.

Five major expenditure categories:

  1. Tax Expenditures = $1.2 billion
  2. Grants = $37 million
  3. Support services = $31 million
  4. Pass-through = $27 million
  5. Transportation = $6 million
