Governor Cooper stated, “I am honored to be here at this ribbon cutting for this amazing building. This is the place to be for furniture and furniture manufacturing. High Point is North Carolina's window to the world of furniture.”
“This building is a realization of a dream of having our own showroom in the epicenter of the world's furniture capital,” said Mr. Harrison. “Thanks to our tremendous partnership with International Market Centers, our dreams have become a reality.”
