In this episode, we sit down with Dean Taitz, a founder at the Ruddell Group, to discuss the upcoming Rocky Mount Industrial Village—a transformative 55-acre industrial park set to begin construction in the next few months. 

Dean shares his vision for the park, emphasizing the importance of attracting light commercial and light manufacturing tenants to foster sustainable economic growth in the region. He highlights the strategic location of the industrial village at the intersection of Thomas A. Betts Parkway and Peele Road, providing easy access to major transportation routes and positioning it as a prime destination for businesses seeking to expand or relocate.

We also discuss the anticipated impact of the development, which is expected to create nearly 300 jobs and generate over $43 million in total economic output upon full buildout. Dean provides insights into the planning and development process, including infrastructure improvements such as water and sewer upgrades slated to begin in March 2025.

Tune in to learn more about the Rocky Mount Industrial Village and how it aims to serve as a catalyst for economic development in the Twin Counties.
