Wake County is encouraging residents to participate in an upcoming in-person community meeting focused on the future of the Neuse North area in northern Wake County.
The interactive session will give community members an opportunity to learn more about current planning efforts and share their input directly with County staff. Representatives from Wake County Planning and other departments will be available to discuss key topics related to development and growth, including land use, agriculture and water quality.
“Community voices are essential to shaping Neuse North over the next decade,” said Wake County Commissioner Cheryl Stallings. “We’ve heard thoughtful feedback about traffic, rural preservation and future development, and this meeting gives residents another opportunity to share what matters most to them. We encourage everyone to join the conversation and help guide the future of their community.”
The 10,890-acre Neuse North study area is home to approximately 8,000 residents. It is located between Wake Forest and Rolesville and extends to the Franklin County line.
This is the sixth of seven distinct areas the County is focusing on as part of its comprehensive plan, known as PLANWake, which charts a course to guide growth over the next 10 years. The Wake County Board of Commissioners already approved area plans for Lower Swift Creek, Middle Creek, Lower Neuse, Western Wake and Eastern Wake.
These area plans determine what type of built environment—the homes, buildings, streets, open spaces, farms and infrastructure—is envisioned for the future at the local level.
The meeting details are as follows:
