Known as the “Harbor of Hospitality,” Elizabeth City is well known for being home to one of the largest Coast Guard command centers in America. However, the area has experienced a tremendous amount of growth in recent years as a bedroom community to the Tidwater Region of Virginia due to the proximity to the Port of Virginia. This strategic position has fostered manufacturing and transportation job expansion. Additionally, Elizabeth City is home to Mid-Atlantic Christian University, College of The Albemarle, and Elizabeth City State University which is growing and just received a gift of $15 million.
