Cary seeking developers for multi-use project
The town of Cary is looking to develop the land that was once the home of Town Hall.
The development would be between Chapel Hill Road and the railroad along North Academy Street and would have taller buildings for people to live, work, and play. The goal would be to create an urban center like the new Fenton development but close to the new Town Hall. The campus at Town Hall is popular among the locals for walking in the gardens around the Page-Walker Arts and History Center.
The site to be developed covers 18 acres and a concept plan shows office buildings, apartments, shops, and restaurants, and potentially a pedestrian bridge across the railroad tracks. The economic development director of Cary, Ted Boyd, said the vision is to see what kind of mixed-used development can be created.
The process is in the early stages, but it is part of a future plan for downtown Cary, where there are busy streets bustling with multi-story buildings adjacent to sidewalk cafes on Academy Street. There would be a grassy area surrounding the Page-Walker and landscaped sidewalks through shops, offices, and apartments overlooking the street.
Local print shops can help promote such plans for a city with flyers and mailers distributed throughout the town.
Developers have about a month and a half to inform the town of their interest in the project.
