North Carolina Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue is on the road again, talking to business leaders about the state's economy in the weeks before she takes office.

Perdue scheduled a public round-table discussion Friday with the Triad-area business community at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown.

Perdue, the Democratic lieutenant governor, held two such meetings last week in Research Triangle Park and Charlotte. It's part of her "listening" tour in which she's taking input from citizens before getting sworn in Jan. 10.
