Project
Resources
No plan or project is created in a vacuum or all at once. During the course of this project, maps and materials will be produced, and previous plans and projects in this region will be reviewed for how they relate and could impact or influence the Johnston County Regional Park.
Here, you can find links to documents, presentations, and other websites that relate to Johnston County and the developments, transportation networks, and parks and open space. Materials produced for this project will also be posted here for public comment. You can use the comment box linked below to leave feedback or reach out directly to the project using the information at the bottom of the page.
On September 27, 2022, a community input meeting was held at the Smithfield Recreation & Aquatics Center.

You can view these in the slideshow here, and double click to view the PDF or each board.

Johnston County falls under the Southeast Area Study, which is currently undergoing an update. More information can be found on the CAMPO and SEAS websites.
