Create business impact with an end-of-year meeting at SBC
With the end of the year quickly approaching, now is a vital time for business leaders to begin your end-of-year reflections. Set the stage for continuous improvement, determine what worked last year (and what didn’t work), and plan for the greatest ultimate success for your business year ahead. 

The 76-seat capacity auditorium at the Salisbury Business Center can help you make that end-of-year reflection/goal setting meeting have impact. With space for receptions and refreshments, as well as the state-of-the art auditorium to present the finer points of your meeting, the Salisbury Business Center cannot be beat!

The Empire Hotel is under contract.
Just across the block from the Salisbury Business Center, the revitalization of this important structure will have a dynamic impact on the entire community. The City of Salisbury hosted a drop-in Empire Hotel Open House in October. The Open House allowed residents to learn more about the coming Empire Hotel Redevelopment project and share their concerns. City representatives conducted a tour of this critical downtown property. Contact Janet Gapen, City of Salisbury Planning Director, for more information at (704) 638-5230 or jgape@salisburync.gov .
