Gov. Bev Perdue intends to brand North Carolina as "the state of innovation."
Yesterday, as Perdue created the state's first Innovation Council, she said she believes that a major byproduct of its actions will be elevating the state of hope for North Carolinians.
Perdue announced the panel after taking a tour of the Institute of Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.
