2006 Community Impact

Jim Goodmon
Capitol Broadcasting Company, Inc.

Jim Goodmon has had a profound impact on the Triangle as an executive, board member and philanthropist. Goodmon has served as CEO of Capitol Broadcasting since 1979, providing visionary leadership that has allowed the company to operate wholly owned subsidiaries across North and South Carolina. Yet, Goodmon’s biggest impact may be felt in the community. He has served on more than 20 non-profit boards throughout the years and is steadfast in his commitment to improving quality of life in the Triangle. Goodmon has been instrumental in the redevelopment of downtown Durham and the growth of the American Tobacco Historic District, a project that is renovating more than one million square feet of real estate property each year.
