Governor Leads Rural Listening Session In Sampson County

SAMPSON COUNTY, N.C. – On Wednesday, Governor Stein joined business leaders, local elected officials, and other leaders in Clinton for his second of a series of Rural Listening Sessions.

The Governor and cabinet secretaries are embarking on this Rural Listening Tour to hear directly from rural North Carolinians about their concerns and priorities as his administration works to expand opportunity in every corner of the state.

“Rural communities are the backbone of North Carolina, and it’s important that we hear directly from people across our state, including here in eastern North Carolina, about how state government can better serve them and their neighbors to help them succeed,” said Governor Josh Stein. “These listening sessions help us focus our efforts and make smart investments in economic opportunity, infrastructure, education, and health care.”
