The Davie County Blog is turning 15 this year, and to mark this milestone, it has undergone an exciting transformation! The new design not only refreshes the site’s look and feel but also enhances the user experience by highlighting more content on the homepage and simplifying the search for older posts.
A Brief History
Established in 2009 by Terry Bralley and the Davie County Economic Development Commission, the Davie County Blog was created to tell the story of Davie County to local residents and the surrounding areas. As a small community, Davie County often got overlooked by major media organizations. The blog was a response to this, ensuring that the unique stories, achievements, and opportunities in the area were given the attention they deserved.
“When we started the Davie County Blog years ago, I knew how critical it was to develop a platform to share our story,” said Bralley. “I am so proud of the team whose ability, heartfelt interest, and labor of love for creating content continue to tell the story of our community. Their efforts have made our blog such an asset to our community.”
Comprehensive Coverage
The Davie County Blog offers a comprehensive look at industry, the workforce, education, and the community as a whole. From in-depth articles about local businesses and educational initiatives to features on the county’s towns, attractions, and events, the blog covers everything Davie County has to offer.
Employment Opportunities
One of the standout features of the blog is the Davie County Jobs page, where businesses can submit job openings and job seekers can find employment opportunities. This page has become a vital resource for both employers and potential employees in the area.
Community Support
The blog was initially funded through a grant from the Mebane Foundation. Since then, it has been sponsored by the Davie County Economic Development Commission (EDC) and its funders, the County of Davie, the Town of Bermuda Run, and the Town of Mocksville. This generous support ensures that all content on the blog remains free for readers.
