North Carolina Welding, LLC has purchased 17.21 acres from Sampson County as part of their expansion in Roseboro, NC.
According to Economic Development Director Stephen Barrington the property, known to locals as the former Blue Diamond facility, sold for $375,000.
This price allowed the County to recover its costs in the property including site acquisition, due diligence, and clean-up that came before and from purchasing the property in July of 2021.
