MARTIN COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Martin County is located in northeastern North Carolina about 80 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

We are also halfway between the Research Triangle area of NC and the Hampton Roads area of VA - two of the Mid-Atlantic's most prominent assets, only a little over an hour each way.
