Gov. Roy Cooper was the keynote speaker at this year’s NFIB North Carolina Small Business Day luncheon, held today at the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel.
“What we want is a more prosperous NC for everyone. One thing I know is that we have to have strong business to create good paying jobs, and most of those jobs come from small business. I want to tell everyone that NC is open for business!” -Governor Cooper pic.twitter.com/9D64FK25FU
