This grant provides funding to the Town of Middlesex to construct water and sewer infrastructure, and a road at the Middlesex Corporate Centre, a county-owned, 330-acre industrial park. The new infrastructure will serve a 62,500-square-foot shell building that Nash County is building at the park and adjacent parcels and can be extended to serve the remainder of the park. The Powell Clinic, located near the entrance to the park, also plans to connect to the public sewer. Nash County has had interest from several industry sectors including distribution, warehousing and light manufacturing that have led the county to predict that over 200 new, full-time jobs will be created through development at the site within five years.
