Corridors of Opportunity – Johnston County ( Triangle Business Journal )

Corridors of Opportunity – Johnston County ( Triangle Business Journal )

Johnston County has spent this year racking up major economic investment announcements, with the top prize being a $4.1 billion expansion in Clayton by Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk. With these major investments comes jobs and people who will need housing – something that Johnston County is continuing to grow in spades. And now the county is trying to ensure that “retail follows rooftops.”

How all these investments and people flowing into Johnston County impact it? What challenges will come with all this growth? What are “hot spot” areas developers should be looking to build in? We will explore these questions and more during our discussion.

Panelists:

Ed Aldridge, Chairman Johnston County Economic Development Advisor Board; VP Business Development, Riverwild

Jody McLeod, Mayor, Town of Clayton

Shaylah Nunn Jones, Director of Public Affairs, Novo Nordisk

Reid Stephenson, CEO, Flowers Plantation
