Wake County, N.C. – The The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) Board of Directors is proud to announce the purchase of a new building in downtown Raleigh, representing a significant milestone in the Association’s 117-year history.
Located at 316 West Edenton Street, adjacent to NCACC’s current headquarters, the newly acquired building will serve as a hub for county operations across North Carolina. The space is envisioned as a center for innovation, advocacy, and leadership development, where county officials and staff can gather, collaborate, and grow.
“This is a historic moment in our Association’s history,” said NCACC President and Warren County Commissioner Tare “T.” Davis. “It allows us to serve our 100 counties and 588 county-elected officials in new and productive ways, in a permanent home where we can gather, collaborate, and learn from one another. This purchase aligns with our long-term mission and our commitment to our membership.”
The decision follows years of careful planning. After a 2017 fire damaged NCACC’s previous office space, the Association transitioned its headquarters to the nearby Quorum Center in 2019. Upon learning of the potential availability of the adjacent property, the Board of Directors initiated a six-month evaluation process to assess its long-term value. The result was a unanimous vote in favor of the purchase.
Originally constructed in the mid-1980s, the building will undergo renovations to meet the evolving needs of North Carolina’s counties. Planned improvements include expanded meeting and training facilities, enhanced collaboration spaces for county officials, and upgraded office space for NCACC staff.
NCACC will continue to provide updates on renovation progress and future use of the building. For more information about the Association and its Board of Directors, visit ncacc.org.
