Good morning. 2024 is almost here. What may be one of the most critical elections of our lifetime, or that is what every politician will claim from now until November 5th, 2024. Today, TRC Nexus will provide a high-level overview of the Presidential contest and battle for control of Congress. Let us dive in. State…
Last year at this time, we named 2022 “The Year of the Megasite.” Our criteria is admittedly subjective. We look at the year’s biggest developments and ask, “What’s a recurring theme that has such an outsize impact on North Carolina’s business environment it can define an entire year?” Or put another way, what will people…
From the desk of Chuck Fuller I asked the team to take a break this week from talk of politics and business, and I suppose I should stay true that request in the holiday message I’m privileged to deliver to each of you around this time every year. I’d like to share with you what drives…
Welcome back this Saturday. For those who celebrate it, we hope you enjoyed your Hanukkah, which ended yesterday. North Carolina has been on an economic development hot streak in recent years, and that’s especially true in the Carolina Core, home to Wolfspeed, Toyota, VinFast, and other region-altering projects. One feature of the area has proven essential to…
Thanks for joining us this morning. Most North Carolina visuals showcase our state’s natural beauty – the mountains, the beaches, the rivers. People around the country find it compelling: Only seven states see more travel spending than North Carolina. This morning, we’re diving into the state’s tourism economy with a bit of a different approach. Rather than…
Thanks for tuning in this Saturday morning. Today we’re exploring two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court that could upheave much of the federal government as we know it today. One case, Moore v. United States, has been called the “quadrillion dollar question” because it could alter the very definition of taxable income. The second – actually, a…
From the desk of Chuck Fuller, CEO The Results Company As we gather with our families to celebrate Thanksgiving – getting away, however briefly, from the day-to-day tasks that consume so much of our attention – I write to offer you a vision for the state we call home. I sat down to write this thinking, How…
Thanks for tuning in this Saturday morning. Today we’re going to contemplate a seemingly intractable tension point. Before we dive into it, we’ll paraphrase a philosophy championed by a North Carolina leader we deeply admire: Good leadership requires honest assessments of reality. Without sober acknowledgment of the situation at hand, it’s impossible to make good decisions. We…
Welcome to a perfect fall weekend – thanks for spending a few minutes with TRC Nexus this morning. Mike Rusher, President of the Results Company, writing today to provide an analysis of the new Congressional, State House and State Senate maps produced by the North Carolina General Assembly to be used in the 2024 election.…
Happy Saturday morning, and thanks for tuning in. This week, Toyota announced it would “supercharge” its Randolph County battery plant, bringing the company’s total investment to $13.9 billion and 5,000 jobs across a seven million-square-foot campus by 2030. The announcement drew national attention because of its sheer size, and rightly so. By comparison, Apple’s planned…
