Agriculture and industry work side-by-side in Clinton and provide a stable economy. Industrial development is encouraged with Clinton’s offering of reasonable costs for commercial sites, excellent utility systems on an industrial scale, and a skilled work force.

In September 2005, Clinton and Sampson County were rated by Farm Futures Magazine as one of the “Best Places to Farm in the United States.”  The $200 million annual farm income for the Clinton area primarily comes from locally grown tobacco, corn, cotton, wheat and soybeans.
