The editor erred last week in the article about rerouting truck traffic from Youngsville to Wake Forest.
Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce President Joe Kimray said he learned about the suggestion “. . . at one of our First Friday events. That was in June (6/7). We didn’t have a July meeting due to it being the 5th – and many people were out of town for the Holiday.”
Also, “The Chamber has not participated in any sort of planning or execution of this proposal. All we know at this point is what we’re hearing from other regional partners – that this is one of several ideas that NCDOT is examining to possibly help relieve truck traffic that is damaging Downtown Youngsville.
“No one at the Chamber is actively working on this issue – nor has it been endorsed by the Government Affairs Committee or Board of Directors.”
The Gazette editor apologizes for the errors.
