Coming Soon: Nash County Megasite
In 2023, the North Carolina General Assembly established the Megasite Readiness Program to continue the state’s success in recruiting large economic development projects. An in-depth evaluation of electric power, wastewater, natural gas, site size, and topography for over 30 sites was performed by the Economic Development Partnership of NC, JLL, Maynard Nexsen, and Timmons Group. The team identified Nash County as one of six best megasites positioned for advanced manufacturing throughout the state.
- About: The planned Nash County megasite will offer excellent accessibility, particularly with its proximity to the I-95 corridor and the CSX Carolina Connector intermodal rail terminal. The area boasts a developable, contiguous space ideal for industrial projects and solid utility capacity. A well-established, manufacturing-heavy industrial base nearby further supports megasite suitability for large advanced manufacturing projects.
- Type: Industrial and Advanced Manufacturing
- Acres: 1,380
- Square Footage: TBD
- Status: Nash County officials are finalizing land options and beginning site due diligence.
