This Golden LEAF grant will help Johnston County and the Town of Four Oaks provide water and sewer infrastructure to support the location of Broad River Retail, LLC in the Town of Four Oaks.

The project is expected to create 161 permanent full-time jobs with an average annual wage of $42,391 compared to the county average of $39,553. The water and sewer infrastructure will also serve other properties and create beneficial redundancies in the systems.

The total cost of the water and sewer infrastructure is $3.025 million.
