Top issues during term (20)
Franklin Street Townes Amenity Dispute
The developer says the pool's upkeep and insurance costs weren't feasible for the HOA; the playground plan reduces impervious surface and maintenance burden.
Unified Development Ordinance Rewrite
Neighbors fear potential structural damage to a shared retaining wall and property value impacts; the developer would pay for required road improvements.
Greenway Expansion and Walkability
$5,338,552 in federal funding matched by $15,194,341 in local contribution, including 2014 and 2022 bond dollars.
Special events street-closure policy and October 2027 exception
Event organizers of larger events will face significantly higher insurance costs, rising from $2 million to $5 million in required coverage.
public meetings
It's free to check out, but keeping tabs on local decisions helps you understand where your tax dollars are going.
Joyner Park Community Center closure during early voting
Naming and future opening of the 80-Acre Property
3832 Rogers Road rezoning and annexation
A related annexation petition would bring the property onto town tax rolls if approved.
Devon Square Boulevard annexation petition
If annexed, the parcel would become subject to town property taxes.
Town-wide Sustainability Plan
Costs not yet specified — many actions are studies, policies, or partnerships rather than immediate spending.
Ailey Young Park Renovation Grant Application
About $4.6 million in new grant funding for parks projects.
Comprehensive Transportation Plan 2026 amendments
Removed projects like the Star Road backage road mean developers won't be required to fund unneeded infrastructure, but higher-priority widenings could bring future town spending.
August Financial Position
No electric rate increase planned for next year's budget; ARPA funds must be spent by year-end.
South Franklin Street traffic safety
Sign and striping costs are modest; installation is expected within 30 to 60 days.
Annexation of 1313 N White Street (Ritchie Family Properties)
Annexing the land would eventually add it to the town's tax base, but no development plan is final yet.
Contiguous annexation of 16.38 acres at 4925 Unicon Drive
The annexed property and its owners will now pay town property taxes.
ADA Transition Plan adoption
Roughly $23.1 million long-term, but about $1.1 million per year if phased over two decades, with much already built into existing budgets.
Municipal Service District Redesign
Would have added roughly $250–$600 per year to affected homeowners' property taxes; the denial avoids that cost.
Go Wake Forest fares and Sunday service expansion
Additional driver hours will add operating cost, offset by improved transit access for residents.
Planning Board appointments
