MORE CLASS A INDUSTRIAL SPACE SET FOR DEVELOPMENT IN JOHNSTON COUNTY
Date Published:County Commissioners Approve Plan for Up To 295,000-Sq.-Ft. Spec Space in Benson
Johnston County’s inventory of high-quality industrial space is set to continue growing as E.D. Parker Corporation finalizes plans for a speculative building in Benson that will span from 275,000 square-feet to 295,000 square-feet. Johnston County’s Board of Commissioners unanimously approved performance-based economic development incentives in support of the project earlier today. Economic development leaders anticipate the property can attract an advanced manufacturer or life sciences operation to Johnston County.
“Our ability to continue bringing high-wage jobs to Johnston County relies on having ready-to-go buildings that can accommodate today’s high-wage industries,” said County Commission Chairman R.S. “Butch” Lawter, Jr. “Modern businesses seek well-located spaces equipped with the latest infrastructure and amenities. The County’s innovative Building-Lease program supports private construction of Class A industrial properties, which will yield lucrative benefits for our local economy over many years.”
