New Bern-Certified Retirement Community

New Bern-Certified Retirement Community?

I think we need to get New Bern designted as a Certified Retirement Community. Certainly we can beat out the cities listed below. We are missing out on opportunities such as the one listed below. What do you think?

Tourism Development Manager André Nabors and Division representative Ashlee Kirk promoted North Carolina as a retirement destination at the Ideal Living Resort & Retirement Expo in Whippany, N.J., this past weekend. The Expo drew approximately 800 potential retirees from the region interested in exploring opportunities and conversing with exhibitors from across the Southeast. Attendees talked with experts from towns and community developers to gain insights and get answers to help plan, design and enjoy their retirement. North Carolina has consistently been one of the most requested states by the attendees. The Division attended the Expo, along with community partners from Fearrington Village Real Estate, to continue its efforts to promote the N.C. Certified Retirement Community Program, which consists of Asheboro, Eden, Edenton, Lumberton, Marion, Mount Airy, Pittsboro, Sanford, and Tarboro. For more information about the Certified Retirement Community Program or the Division's marketing initiatives for retirement relocation, contact Andre Nabors at (919) 733-7502.
