It's evident after five minutes on Brevard's Main Street—you feel the positive energy, hear the warm way people are welcomed, and see the caring results of a passionate partnership between business and community in the thriving downtown. Ask anyone who lives there; it's the caring community that set Transylvania County apart.

One CEC^® leader described the area like this: There's an understated sophistication that belies what we have.

Transylvania County is mountain and waterfall country—more than half its land is publicly owned and protected, there are some 250 waterfalls that crisscross the county. Two excellent colleges, world-class Brevard Music Center, a strong core of service-oriented retirees, (link to business climate) and a business community that loves entrepreneurs all add up to an exceptional quality of life.
