With the pervasiveness of textiles in North Carolina, the “textile industry” will be defined by all related activities used in the textile supply chain: Traditional manufacturing, PLUS retail, distribution, marketing and design, development activities, labeling/ticketing, testing services, e-commerce and other auxiliary industries. A searchable and sortable data base is being developed and will include information about North Carolina companies.

A final report, with recommendations and an implementation plans will be delivered to the North Carolina Legislature in June 2006.
