For the past two years, Wake County planners dug into data,
listened to community comments, and engaged stakeholders, partners and advisory
boards to shape a comprehensive plan that will guide future growth. Now, the
draft plan — known as PLANWake
— is ready for residents to review.

“This is about the future of Wake County,” said Greg Ford,
chairman of the Wake County Board of Commissioners. “Public input is critical
to the success of a comprehensive plan, and this is your opportunity provide
feedback about the direction it takes.”

The county launched the PLANWake process in September 2018. It
included three rounds of community surveys, which garnered more than 150,000
responses. Residents weighed in on a broad array of topics, including land use
and development, parks and open space, housing and neighborhoods,
transportation options, economic opportunity, public services and facilities,
and others.

The draft plan is the result of that research and
collaboration — and Wake County needs community input to make sure we got it
right. How can you help?

• Review the draft plan
  and interactive
  map.
• Take this short survey.

When complete, the plan will include high-level policies
that help guide decisions and actions addressing critical issues over the
coming decades. Make sure your voice is heard. The survey will be open through
the end of January 2021.
