On February 24, the Planning and Zoning Board gave a unanimous endorsement of the Carr Center plans! A preliminary development plan for the Carr Center and adjacent Town of Cary-owned lot received high praise from board members. The project was cited as desperately needed and the kind of innovation required to address housing issues in Cary and beyond.

This unanimous endorsement of the Carr Center comes ahead of the critical rezoning vote by the Cary Town Council on April 24 at 6:30pm. Mark your calendars to attend this meeting if you would like to support this ongoing effort to provide critical resources and services to our community.
