Shovel Ready Sites
Minimize your risk. Choose a Shovel Ready Site.
Risk and reward. You can’t have one without the other. For critical decisions like a corporate relocation or expansion, successful businesses will try to maximize the upside and minimize the downside. For those companies, we offer the Wake County Shovel Ready Sites program. Each site has been through a rigorous series of tests—and meets or exceeds a strict set of standards—to confirm it’s ready for immediate development. And rest assured, we’ve got the documentation to prove it.
