“Greenville has a wealth of resources that you typically find in a city five times its size: a tremendous university and community college, the best medical center in the state, a well-prepared workforce, and some of the best little league teams for children in the world. Living here creates a sense that the future promises to be extraordinary. And no matter where you come from, Greenville makes you feel like you’re finally home.”

“You don’t have to be in a big city to accomplish something exciting. I could have chosen any number of places to live and work, and I’ve had offers to lead other major programs elsewhere. But I don’t think I could have found a more advanced and integrated medical and industrial environment, more recreational opportunities, or friendlier people than in eastern North Carolina.”

“Greenville has the right mix of Southern hospitality, Yankee gumption, rapid expansion, and overall desire to be bigger than the sum of its parts. It’s an exciting time to live in a place that’s evolving tangibly and favorably”

“I enjoy all kinds of outdoor recreation. I’m a football fan who loves the Pirates. So many opportunities are here. Being able to enjoy these things, along with that eastern North Carolina sense of opportunity, is why I live here.”

“This is our home. I want to create an interaction between the art community and the public. We’re always traveling to international exhibitions. We take Pitt County with us all over. We are ambassadors of this community, of the arts, and of the United States.”

“Greenville provides the atmosphere for good, clean activities that everyone in the family, no matter the age, can enjoy. It’s also a great environment for professionals, and the Robotics Training Center attracts the attention of surgeons locally, nationally and internationally.”

“Jazz is alive in Greenville, where folks can experience world-class performances by world class artists in intimate settings. Our audiences feel connected to each performance as the atmosphere is always of family and friends enjoying the experience of great music.”

“For retirees who wish to be actively engaged in the community, Pitt County is the ideal place to live. It offers widely diverse social and cultural amenities, excellent healthcare, life-long learning, year-round recreational and wellness facilities, safe neighborhoods and friendly children. Greenville is as close to heaven as I expect to be while still on earth.”

“Greenville is an easy town to live in. The nightlife is fun – in fact, it can be a distraction. There’s always something to do! And the community leaders are open to adding new and exciting recreational opportunities in the area.”

“We had great support from the University, the City of Greenville, and many local leaders to develop, promote and continue our work on the device and our research. We feel a sense of ‘community’ here in Pitt County and Greenville.” - Dr. Kalinowski
