On the recordOctober 25, 2017
Forbes magazine recently discovered something many of us have known for a long time, which is that Sparta, North Carolina, is a wonderful place to live and work. Sparta, located in Alleghany County, is a wonderful community made up of people with vision, strong work ethic, big hearts, and dreams. Forbes encouraged young entrepreneurs to move to seven locations around the country--and, in particular, to Sparta--for the high-speed fiber internet and relatively low cost of living. This would allow innovators and job creators to live affordably and work globally. Mr. Speaker, this is a great reason to move to Sparta, but it is not the only reason. I urge entrepreneurs and families to live in Sparta for the wonderful quality of life, sense of community, and incredible heart that makes this town a wonderful place to call home. ____________________
