"The City of Hickory has been a great partner with my business. I have been able to secure very needed grants to improve my building to make it more usable and presentable. Any time I have an issue or question the staff has been super helpful in getting answers and solutions to problems. It’s great to be in a City with such a business friendly environment."

"It’s such a great place to live. We’re so fortunate. We have the mountains. We have the coast not far away. We have so many things that are here. Business continues to thrive. We just think this is a great way for folks to have the opportunity to live in an urban setting, ride their bike to work, walk to work, whatever they want to do.”
