The story so far

Franklin Street Townes has run through four Wake Forest boards. A 2015 approval required a pool and clubhouse, and in 2021 the developer told the town it would not build them. The Board of Adjustment heard the violation dispute on 20 August, the Planning Board recommended rezoning the common area 6-0 on 8 September, and the commissioners hold a hearing on 6 October on replacing the amenities with a canopy and playground.

The 3832 Rogers Road annexation and rezoning came back for a linked hearing on 18 August under a new applicant.

Fire Station 6 moved from a February preview to installment financing with Pinnacle Bank on 21 April.

Budget season opened on 15 September with a hearing on the 2027-2032 capital improvement plan. On 6 October the board considers a $3 million National Park Service grant application for Ailey Young Park.

Drawn from 150 summarized meetings, last revised 8 days ago.
