Goldsboro Urbanized Area Study
The City of Goldsboro, lead agency for the Goldsboro MPO, undertook the preparation of this document to provide a 20-year plan for the Goldsboro Urbanized Area and the five (5) future interchanges to be constructed along the US 70 Goldsboro Bypass. The plan area includes the City of Goldsboro, its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), and an area of unincorporated Wayne County beyond the City ETJ (referred to as the Total Urbanized Area). This planning effort will provide a creative and dynamic plan to guide the future long-term growth and development of this rapidly developing urban area. Specifically, the plan addresses the following:
- Develop clear vision and mission statements for the Goldsboro Urbanized Area, recognizing both its internal character and the role within the greater area;
- Provide historical, current, and forecast data with regard to demographics/ economics (in-City, ETJ, and relative to the City’s surroundings);
- Assess current concerns and issues related to housing;
- Recognize current issues, rapidly changing conditions, future community desires, and realities surrounding environmental, utility, transportation, housing, and military functions;
- Integrate existing local, regional, and other plans affecting the Goldsboro Urbanized Area;
- Address areas of specific concern, including the four highway segments designated as R-2554 and the five new interchange areas; and
- Develop alternative concept plans for the five new interchange areas.
