Carolinas Gateway Partnership: Whitaker Business & Industry Center

WHITAKER BUSINESS & INDUSTRY CENTER Gold Rock, Nash County, NC

Overview:	The Whitaker Business & Industry Center is located on Interstate 95 in Nash County, North Carolina, an area consistently ranked as a prime location for work and livability. Three miles northwest of the City of Rocky Mount, this manufacturing and distribution park has been developed by the Nash County Business Development Authority, a not-for-profit development group, in conjunction with the Carolinas Gateway Partnership and the City of Rocky Mount.
Sites:	The Center is made up of over 300 acres of prime interstate highway property. Individual sites may be configured in sizes ranging from 5 to 100 acres. The flat to gently rolling topography has slopes of less than 5%. The sites are generally clear with some woodlands along exterior property lines. Protective covenants ensure appropriate coverage ratios, building materials, landscaping and signage. These covenants are available for review.
Transportation Access:	Located in the geographic center of the Eastern Seaboard, Nash County is the gateway to the Sunbelt. Interstate 95 and interstate-quality US 64 and US 264 traverse the County, giving exceptional access to the East Coast's major markets. Easy connections with Interstates 40 and 85 open the way to an overland transportation system which has earned North Carolina its reputation as the "Good Roads State."
