In this episode of Old Town New World, we sit down with Rick Norwood, the City of Rock Hill’s Director of Industrial Recruitment, to discuss how he and the city work to attract and sustain industrial and manufacturing investment. Rick walks us through recent accomplishments from Rock Hill’s Economic and Urban Development Department—from the development of Legacy East and West industrial parks to initiatives that support job creation, infrastructure readiness, and workforce availability.

With a deep background in economic development, Rick plays a vital role in strengthening Rock Hill’s position as a competitive center for manufacturing, logistics, and business expansion within the greater Charlotte region.
