Rural and urban transportation needs are known to be different. Our objective was to understand how infrastructure investments could help rural areas of North Carolina with economic development. For many planners and economic developers, freight growth is seen as the physical manifestation of a strong economy but planning for freight is challenging. For us to understand the rural needs better, we conducted a socio-economic study, an economic analysis, and two workshops. The workshops focused on two areas of the state, the deep southwest and the far northeast. These regions are among the most economically depressed and economic development through enhanced freight infrastructure could be very helpful.URL
