The residents of Moore County and the counties that surround us have an intertwined lifestyle as many people live in one county and might work in another, or perhaps live in one county and have family in another, and for sure we all frequent across county lines to shop, eat and for leisure activities.

The reader base for Aberdeen Times not only includes residents from all across Moore County, but also includes readers in all of the counties around us and far beyond.

Although we often have reported news from the surrounding region, to help keep all of our readers better up to date on important news from across the area we have brought back our Regional News feature section that will bring readers headlines from the counties around us as well as other communities across the state.

We have made this expansion as part of a major growth plan that started in January of this year and is being implemented over the summer of 2017 to greatly enhance the news services brought to our many readers. We look forward to rolling out additional new publication features and introducing new staff to you over the coming weeks ahead.
