An old ABC store is transformed into a doctor’s office. A dilapidated storefront is brought back to life. In a special North Carolina Now series, entitled North Carolina Rising, UNC-TV shows you how one rural community in Greene County is trying to reinvent itself and lure new residents to come see what Hookerton has to offer. As part of an ongoing year-long series, North Carolina Now will highlight success stories like this one happening in North Carolina’s rural communities. In the summer of 2009, the series will conclude with an hour-long documentary and a series of topical town hall meetings.
