The Mebane Enterprise is a newspaper based in Mebane, North Carolina. It was previously known as The Alamance-Orange Enterprise until February 13, 1991.
The Enterprise is a weekly community newspaper that focuses on local government in Mebane and Alamance County, as well as local business and school news.[1] In 2018, the paid circulation was 3,100, and the free circulation was 81.[2]
