Strong Economic Growth Continues for Mocksville

2021-11-29T12:20:40-05:00

There is also strong support for business expansions like the one Liberty Storage Solutions is currently undertaking. Just these three businesses will create 134 good-paying jobs and invest almost $25,000,000 in Mocksville. This does not include projects [...]
