What's on this agenda

The board considers pledging $3.3 million in local funds toward a federal grant for a Wake Forest stop on the S-Line passenger rail corridor. The 20% match would help draw a $13.2 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from NCDOT, covering final design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of a mobility hub, a $16.5 million project in Wake Forest alone. NCDOT is pursuing the grant as a fallback in case a separate federal award the board endorsed last year does not come through.

The board also holds a public hearing on a petition to annex about 3 acres at 1950 Friendship Chapel Road, tied to rezoning case RZ-23-01, then takes up a companion item to act on the annexation itself. A consent agenda includes a $4.36 million amendment to the current budget, with the largest single piece, $3.09 million, going to Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources, plus two appointments to the Human Relations Council. The board also considers the 2024-2029 Capital Improvements Plan update, which would direct staff to build a financing plan into next year's operating budget.
