Johnston County sits just outside of Raleigh and consists of 11 cities, including Smithfield, Clayton, Benson, and Selma. Its claim to fame as being the number one sweet potato producing county in the country. It has the Tobacco Farm, Life Museum, as well as the Ava Gardner Museum. So historically, you'd think of Johnston County as farm country, but things are changing. In fact, North Carolina recently listed Clayton as the fastest-growing city in North Carolina and a major player in the pharmaceutical industry, gaining five residents per day.
So how has Johnston County changed so much over the past 20 years?
Today’s guests are Butch Lawter, Chairman of the Johnston County Board of Commissioners, and Chris Johnson, Johnston County Director of Economic Development.
