Part­ner­ship with Ro­s­tock since 2001

Raleigh got its name from the Eng­lish sea­man Sir Wal­ter Raleigh. Lo­cal peo­ple call their town the city of oaks. Within Raleigh bor­ders, you can find a se­ries of fields ad­ja­cent to a waste­water plant. There grow more than 50 acres of sun­flow­ers. They are har­vested and pressed. The oil is turned into biodiesel for the plant, the rest is taken for sludge ap­pli­ca­tion and fer­til­izer.

Vis­it­ing Raleigh, en­joy the City Gar­den.

Just north of down­town, the gar­dens are an op­por­tu­nity for res­i­dents to get their hands “dirty” in an ur­ban set­ting.

In Progress En­ergy Cen­ter for the Per­form­ing Arts you can find dif­fer­ent big the­aters and a con­cert hall.

Raleigh‘s in­dus­trial base in­cludes bank­ing/fi­nan­cial ser­vices, elec­tri­cal, med­ical, elec­tronic and telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions equip­ment, cloth­ing and ap­parel, food pro­cess­ing, pa­per prod­ucts, and phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals.
