Capital needs hearing on agenda

Is there something you believe the Town of Wake Forest should be doing such as, maybe, building a civic center, building more town swimming pools, or providing a major park in the southern part of town?

Next Tuesday is the time to speak up because the Wake Forest Town Board will hold a public hearing at the start of its regular monthly meeting on Jan.19 beginning at 7 p.m. Anyone, town resident or not, can speak.

The agenda is fairly routine. The mayor and commissioners will honor a retiring town employee, Rose Godfrey, and hold a public hearing about annexing 135 acres in the northwest quadrant where Gilcrest Farm Road meets Royal Mill Avenue. A revision to the existing master plan for that land was recommended by the planning board last week, and the commissioners will consider whether to approve it later in the meeting.

The other planning matter is the master plan for Envision Science Charter School which is also planned for the southeast quadrant of that intersection, but in this case the roads are Gilcrest Farm Road and Oak Grove Church Road.

The commissioners will appoint members to the design review board and the historic preservation commission, decide who will be mayor pro tempore and which commissioners will serve on what committees.

Other items may be added to the agenda.
