Located halfway between Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC, Henderson County has the small-town feel with big-city amenities. New and expanding businesses have discovered its pro-business climate, strong local economy, and vibrant mountain community are the keys to success. From outdoor recreation to machinery manufacturing to professional services, Henderson County has the robust infrastructure and a diverse, talented workforce to welcome and support growing businesses.
Made in Henderson County was created in 2012 to strengthen connections between local manufacturing businesses, the Henderson County Public School System, and other residents in and around Henderson County. The workforce program tells the story of manufacturing in Henderson County - the products made, and the people who make them.
