Contiguous Counties

The UPLIFT program provides a suite of services to rural counties across North Carolina to support their tourism economy. The counties that UPLIFT is currently supporting are Bertie, Bladen, Caswell, Columbus, Edgecombe, Granville, Martin, Montgomery, Person, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson, and Stanly. UPLIFT plans to expand to additional counties in the west in 2024. 

 

Although the focus is on these core counties, there are some elements of UPLIFT that are available to any county adjacent to those listed above.  Below is a list of frequently asked questions to clarify what services are available to these additional counties.
