A Pitt County furniture maker is planning a nearly $4 million expansion of its facility thanks in part to an $80,000 grant from the state, Pitt County Government announced. Edgecombe Furniture, an existing Pitt County manufacturer of high-performing commercial furnishings, has been operating in North Carolina for nearly a century and in Pitt County since 2019, after the company purchased a 140,000-square-foot facility on Staton Road north of Greenville. Edgecombe Furniture CEO Bob Phillips said the company has grown substantially in the last five to 10 years. ”We moved to Pitt County in 2019. Since then we’ve gained a lot of really good new customers,” Phillips said.
