Exit 173 offers a highly visible commercial development opportunity in one of Halifax County’s most active growth corridors. Located at the Roanoke Rapids-Weldon interchange on I-95, the site benefits from strong traffic exposure, established utility infrastructure, surrounding retail and residential development, and immediate proximity to major employers, Halifax Community College, Becker Industrial Park, and the broader Roanoke Valley community.
Recent investment has strengthened the site’s appeal. Carolina Star Hospitality opened the Fairfield by Marriott on Lot #1 and Longhorn Steakhouse opened on Lot #3 in May, confirming strong market demand at this interchange and creating momentum for additional restaurant, retail, service, medical, office, and travel-related development.
With direct interstate exposure, growing private investment, and nearby employment centers, Exit 173 is well-positioned for the next phase of commercial growth in Halifax County.
