About us
The North Carolina Department of Commerce is the state's lead agency for economic, community and workforce development. Taking a comprehensive approach to economic development, the Department’s work reaches many areas. The Department helps people find jobs and employers find and retain a qualified workforce. The Department administers the state’s employment security system, supporting workers during career transitions. The Department provides local communities with grants and planning services to spur infrastructure development and economic growth, and administers the state’s economic incentive programs. The Department is also responsible for recruiting companies to the state, helping existing North Carolina companies expand, encouraging business start-ups, enabling companies to export, and marketing North Carolina as a business and visitor destination. In October 2014, the Department entered a contract with a new public-private organization, the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC) to take the lead in these recruiting and marketing functions. The Department also publishes data, statistics, information and reports for citizens and policymakers interested in the state’s economy. The Department of Commerce, an executive branch agency of the State of North Carolina, is headquartered in Raleigh. Representatives of North Carolina state government communicate via this website.

JUST RELEASED🚨 The second Central Atlantic Call for Information and Nominations This Call solicits information from the public and industry interest to determine potential interest in commercial offshore wind energy development in the Central Atlantic. This Call has opened a public comment period until October 21, 2024. For details on how to submit information and nominations: https://ow.ly/3slE50T2Wu8 During this Call period, we will gather information and expressions of interest to learn more about potential multiple uses and environmental concerns associated with offshore wind development in the area. This will build upon the input and planning that led to the recent first Central Atlantic lease sale on August 14, 2024. If there is sufficient interest, then the next step of the planning and lease process is referred to as Area Identification. During this stage, we will work with stakeholders to balance competing uses, environmental concerns, and the proposed area's potential for commercial wind development, with the goal being to identify areas suitable for offshore wind leasing.
