Real Estate Update from Harnett County Economic Development Corporation

Real Estate Activities

In 2024, HEDC secured $547,885 from the Golden LEAF Foundation’s SITE Program to clear and grade a site at Edgerton Industrial Park. Engineering design has been completed on Site 1, with clearing and grading to be completed in Fall 2025, positioning Harnett County for future industrial investment. Located in Dunn, Edgerton Industrial Park is less than 1.5 miles from I-95 at Exit 71 and within 10 minutes of the I-95/I-40 interchange, making it an ideal location for industrial users.

Brightwater Business Park has been a focus of HEDC as well. Currently, HEDC is coordinating with property owners the creation of Brightwater Property Owners Association (POA), which will put in place a professional association management group to work with owners to maintain an attractive business park. 

HEDC is working with the Town of Lillington to jointly advocate for the extension of Brightwater Drive to Highway 210.

“We’re working closely with the Town of Lillington to advocate for the Brightwater Drive extension to Highway 210 – a key infrastructure improvement that will support future growth and investment in the area,” said Stephen Barrington, Director of Harnett County Economic Development. “We’re optimistic about the progress we can make together this year.”
