Pitt County is the economic engine of eastern North Carolina. Anchored by Greenville — the county's largest city and home to East Carolina University — the county serves as the regional center for healthcare, education, and commerce across a vast area stretching from the Piedmont to the Outer Banks.
ECU Health (formerly Vidant Health) operates one of the largest hospital systems in eastern North Carolina, drawing patients and medical professionals from dozens of surrounding counties. East Carolina University brings nearly 30,000 students, world-class research, and a steady flow of new businesses — restaurants, shops, services, and professional firms. The county's agricultural heritage remains strong, with tobacco, sweet potatoes, and row crops forming the backbone of rural Pitt County's economy.
Whether your business is near the ECU campus or operating in one of the county's smaller communities, we serve every corner of Pitt County with the same dedicated service.

Serving Pitt County means understanding eastern North Carolina — the university, the medical campus, the agricultural heritage, and the small-town communities that make this region unique.
Pitt County's economy is built on three pillars: healthcare, higher education, and agriculture. Named after William Pitt the Elder, the county was established in 1761 and has served as the commercial center of eastern North Carolina for generations.
ECU Health (formerly Vidant Health) operates the region's only Level I trauma center and teaching hospital — employing thousands and drawing patients from across eastern NC. East Carolina University is a major research university with nearly 30,000 students, a medical school, and programs that fuel the local economy. Patheon (Thermo Fisher Scientific) operates a major pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, adding advanced manufacturing to the employment mix.
Agriculture remains foundational — Pitt County is one of North Carolina's top agricultural producers, with tobacco, sweet potatoes, cotton, and livestock operations generating significant revenue. This blend of university energy, medical-center employment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and agricultural heritage creates a diverse small-business landscape that ranges from campus restaurants to farm equipment dealers to specialty medical practices.
