Brock Statement on Ashley Furniture’s Decision to Move to Davie County
Raleigh, N.C.– Ashley Furniture Industries announced its decision today to open a furniture manufacturing and distribution center in Davie County. North Carolina beat out several other Southeastern states to secure the project which will bring at least 550 jobs to the area.
“This is a tremendous victory for the people of Davie County,” said Sen. Andrew Brock (R-Davie). “I was proud to work alongside the Department of Commerce to create an economic and tax climate that motivated the company to move here. The Republican-led General Assembly will continue to search for ways to attract job creators and encourage entrepreneurs in North Carolina.”
Last June, the Senate unanimously passed House Bill 751, which provided companies with a tax credit if they invested $80 million in a facility and created a minimum of 550 jobs. The bill is seen as one of the likely factors that led to Ashley Furniture’s decision to choose North Carolina.
Paid for by Brock for Senate, Donald Bowles, Treasurer.
