SMITHFIELD – A North Carolina developer has requested the Smithfield Town Council voluntarily annex 85.8 acres of land.
Smithfield Growth LLC, based in Sanford, NC, has petitioned the Town of Smithfield to annex the property, located between Booker Dairy Road and M. Durwood Stephenson Parkway, off N. Brightleaf Boulevard and behind Walmart.
Developers are proposing 209 detached single family residential home lots, 94 attached single family townhouses, and 324 apartment units on the 85 acre parcel.
The future development will require new streets, sidewalks, water and sewer lines, electrical service, and a pump station, according to a Staff Report submitted to the council.
A public hearing has been set for January 21, 2025 to consider the petition. The land presently adjoins the city limits.
