What is the Lower Neuse Area Plan?

The Lower Neuse Area Plan is a component of Wake County’s comprehensive plan, PLANWake, adopted in April 2021. The area plans separate the county into seven distinct areas for more localized planning with community input. The process of determining what type of built environment – the homes, buildings, streets, open spaces, farms, and infrastructure – is envisioned for the future at the local level.

The Lower Neuse (LN) Area Plan was approved by the Wake County Board of Commissioners on April 1, 2024.
