Residential and commercial development have grown steadily over the past few years in part due to the county's location near the [[Research Triangle]] region. The Hyco Lake area and southern portion of the county have had an influx of new home and commercial development in the late 20th and early 21st century. The county's largest employers are [[Duke Energy]], [[Eaton Corporation]], [[Georgia-Pacific Corporation]] and [[GKN|GKN Driveline]].

The [[Holloway-Walker Dollarhite House]], [[Henry-Vernon House]], [[Burleigh (Concord, North Carolina)|Burleigh]], and [[Waverly Plantation (Cunningham, North Carolina)|Waverly Plantation]] are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] outside Roxboro.<ref name="nris"/>
