We are so excited about our new Ayers Entrepreneur Center East! Follow the page for announcements and updates.

Something exciting is happening in Downtown Erwin.

The Ayers Entrepreneur Center East is more than a building—it's a place where entrepreneurs, innovators, remote workers, artists, and small businesses can connect, collaborate, and grow.

From flexible office space and conference rooms to a commercial-grade kitchen and telehealth offices, we're creating a place that strengthens the resources and opportunities that will help our community continue to thrive.

Follow us for updates, sneak peeks, and our official opening announcement!
