“Over all the years, there’s very few proposals where I can go ‘Wow! This is impressive.’ […] I’m so proud of all the entities involved.”
Mayor Harold Weinbrecht (Cary, NC)
“This is majestic. […] What I’d like to invite people in Cary and Wake County to do is to consider throwing some funds into this project. Then you’d get to drive by and point and say, ‘I helped, I was part of that!’ […] Let’s make sure as a community they have every nickle they need.”
Carissa Kohn-Johnson, Town Council Member (Cary, NC)
