NC is 4th Fastest Growing State in U.S. Census Report Shows
Release date: 12/29/08
North Carolina's population rose 2 percent during the past year, making it the nation's fourth fastest growing state - and the most rapidly growing of any state east of Texas, a new reports hows. The state gained almost 181,000 residents from July 2007 to July 2008, according to the report released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau. With a 2008 population of 9.2 million, North Carolina remains the nation's 10th largest state. While the new figures don't reflect any changes during the past five months, when the economy registered its sharpest declines, they do show the state's growth rate is slowing. From 2006 to 2007, the state's population increased 2.17 percent.

Heart center debuts today

Greenville officially becomes home today to a major cardiovascular center, devoted exclusively to the treatment and prevention of heart disease.
Officials from East Carolina University and Pitt County Memorial Hospital are gathering to celebrate one of their most significant partnerships - the East Carolina Heart Institute.
The dedication ceremony represents a culmination of the four-year partnership, which resulted in a 206,000 square-foot research facility at the university and a six-story patient bed tower at the hospital.
"The part that is so rewarding, as someone who is from this area, is to be part of a partnership that is really focused on improving health care for the people in this region," said PCMH President Steve Lawler. "We view the ECHI as more than just two buildings. It creates an incredible resource for the staff and those living in eastern North Carolina."
Lawler, who has helped work on the project from the beginning, said he hopes the ECHI becomes a clinical and intellectual home for everyone dealing with cardiovascular disease.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in eastern North Carolina, according to an ECHI pamphlet. That means the local population far exceeds the national averages for heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes and extreme obesity.
The Heart Institute at ECU opened in September and the PCMH bed tower is scheduled to open in January 2009.
"The partnership between the hospital and the university is really an incredible story about commitment and a vision for the future," Lawler said. "We're working together on connecting quality and service, so patients have a seamless experience."
Lawler added his favorite moments during the four-year process have come from watching people with a common dream work together.
One of those individuals - Dr. W. Randolph Chitwood Jr. - will be the director of the institute.
"The dedication of the East Carolina Heart Institute is a culmination of a dream for me and the people of eastern North Carolina," said Chitwood, senior associate vice chancellor for health sciences at ECU and chief of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery in the Department of Surgery at the Brody School of Medicine.
"The collaboration between the university and the hospital was the essential part."
Chitwood said these two state-of-the-art facilities will put ECU and its Brody School of Medicine, as well as University Health Systems of Eastern North Carolina and PCMH on a new plane for researching and treating cardiovascular diseases.
"We are committed to specific training of nurses, doctors and health-care specialists in a multidisciplinary way to treat cardiovascular disease," said Chitwood.
The public is to get its first look inside the bed tower Sunday, when the hospital holds an open house of the $160 million patient care facility. It contains 120 cardiovascular beds.

Welcome to Greenville and Pitt County - the hub of Eastern North Carolina! Greenville is now the retail, healthcare, educational, cultural and sports hub of Eastern North Carolina. The designation has been rightfully earned by the people of the region by both carefully preserving a rich historical heritage and displaying an energetic willingness to adapt to a changing economic and commercial world. From every retail store you can imagine, to a world-class regional medical facility and heart center, to one of the state's largest universities and a top-notch medical school to college athletics and "Sportstown USA" recreation to high-achieving public schools to cultural opportunities akin to big-city life, Pitt County is rich in opportunity. Progressive planning and cooperation between government, business and private citizens has allowed the Greenville MSA to maintain a careful balance between economic growth and a high quality of life for old-family residents and newcomers alike. The region continues to combine a low cost of living with ideal climate, truly superior recreational capabilities, excellent medical and educational facilities, a well-trained, eager and loyal work force and cultural amenities usually found in much larger and more cosmopolitan population centers. Greenville offers something which is becoming increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world - a small town atmosphere ideal in which to live, work, play and raise a family and all without sacrificing any of the "big city" lures of arts and culture, shopping centers, entertainment, education and medical services. Pitt County is also home to 8 other municipalities, each with their own charm and unique atmospheres. Whether you are visiting this region of North Carolina for recreation and relaxation or are considering becoming a part of its ever-expanding business, medical or educational communities, we welcome the chance to show you that we're dedicated to make your stay (short or life-long!) here one that is second to none.

What our clients are saying...
We have been in the market for a new home ... and are anticipating a move this summer. I work with computers and websites and this site is very impressive. My hats off to the IT Team that designed this site. If as much care and information is put into your work as you do with your website, all I've got to say is you must have one helluva' business. I've seen twenty five to thirty real estate websites thus far but none compare to this in any way, shape or form. I don't know if this will reach the people you work for but I hope it does. It's blown the twenty five to thirty websites I visited right out of the water. Not to sound to crude but it's finally nice to go to a website where they really care.
Thanks,
John G. Bartlett
Jesse did a great job helping us find a townhome for our college age son. He listened to our requirements and in just one day, we found the place that was right for us! It was more economical to get a townhouse than to pay the ridiculous amount of rent the apartment complexes charge in Greenville. My son loves the place, it is on the ECU bus route which was important to us. When it came time for closing and financing, he put us in touch with great attorneys and financing and all went off without a hitch!
Thanks Jesse,
Barbara Ashley, Fayetteville NC
