The story so far

Holly Springs enacted Ordinance 26-19 on 16 June, a twelve-month block on new data center applications while staff draft zoning standards. No draft standards have surfaced. The Land Use Advisory Committee holds the fourth session of its data center study on 6 October.

The council's 30 September workshop began ranking projects for a transportation bond referendum in 2027 or 2028, with a debt affordability review. It also covered wastewater needs beyond 8 million gallons a day and a framework for an interlocal agreement with Cary and Apex, and three concept plans for the downtown festival street.

The planning board took up the town's first housing affordability action plan on 22 September. It recommends a housing fund, dedicated staff, and a housing requirement for points under the utility allocation policy.

The Daventry rezoning, 127 acres at 6725 Thrasher Road, would replace a mobile home park with a 240-lot subdivision.

Drawn from 75 summarized meetings, last revised 8 days ago.
