Wilson County, North Carolina
Wilson County sits on the coastal plain along I-95 between Raleigh and Rocky Mount, dominated by the city of Wilson, its county seat, amid flue-cured tobacco farmland and small rail towns. Growth concentrates inside the city of Wilson and along the I-95 logistics corridor, reshaping old tobacco warehouses into distribution space, while land outside city limits lacks the water and sewer access new projects need.
