Et godt forbundet Amt

Wilson County, hvis befolkning nærmer sig 90.000 indbyggere, er kun en times kørsel til RDU International Airport, hvilket betyder, at beboere og virksomheder nemt kan få adgang til storbyområder. Det er også hjemsted for næsten hundrede producenter, en stor tilstedeværelse af agri-forretninger, voksende virksomheder og en række lokale attraktioner.
