Project Summary

Wake County has established convenience centers throughout the County to provide recycling and waste disposal services to residents in the unincorporated area. Convenience Center #3 is located along Aviation Parkway just outside the limits of the Town of Morrisville. This site is located adjacent to the Town’s existing Public Works Facility at 414 Aviation Parkway. Due to the proposed widening of Aviation Parkway, the Town and County have established an agreement to jointly redevelop this Town-owned site for their respective facilities.

In coordination with NCDOT’s plan for widening Aviation Parkway, in January 2024, Wake County and the Town of Morrisville entered into an agreement to further develop the “schematic design drawings” into Construction Plans.  The team has been enhanced by bringing a Construction Manager at Risk Contractor who is providing preconstruction services. The team’s goal is to have bid ready documents by early 2025 followed by bid and award and start of construction by mid-2025. In the interim, the design team continues to perform critical tasks such as Traffic Impact Studies and submitting applications for the various permits & processes within the governing agencies.
