Commissioners favor Middle Branch Road naming choice
In Wilson's Mills the planning staff and Johnston County Commissioners chose Middle Branch Road as the preferred service road name linking Wilson's Mills Road to a DOT maintenance yard. They considered other options Poplar Creek and Three Branch, rejecting Captain Drive and Edwards names to avoid confusion with emergency responders. The board is expected to formally name Middle Branch Road at the next meeting.
