What's on this agenda

The Town of Wake Forest Board of Commissioners holds a public hearing on closing part of the right-of-way along Caddell Street, a leftover strip from a 2013 paving project that the developer of an adjoining parcel, identified by PIN 1841516796, has asked the town to abandon to make room for the planned Wake Forest Food Hall. The board also takes up a companion resolution to formally order the closure once the hearing is complete.

The rest of the agenda is routine business: a third budget ordinance amendment for the current fiscal year that would raise general fund appropriations by $369,520, a resolution accepting several newly built subdivision streets in the Traditions and Austin Creek developments into the town's maintenance system for Powell Bill funding, and appointments to the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Advisory Board and the Public Art Commission. Five proclamations are also on the agenda, for Earth Day, Arbor Day, Building Safety Month, St. Baldrick's Day and Municipal Clerks Week.
