(This article is written from memory because I lost my notes about the town board meeting last night, perhaps because I was preparing for the UNC basketball game later. The ending, another loss, made me unhappy about watching.)
Despite pleas from the owner of Freddie’s bar, which is not included in the six-month trial for Wake Forest’s social district, the trial area was approved last night. It is essentially along South White and South Brooks Street. The town commissioners accordingly amended the town ordinance about consumption of alcohol to include the social district.
A new grant for the proposed train station was announced by Brad West, long range planning manager.
The commissioners also approved the 2025-2030 Capital Improvements Plan.
There was a good-by to Wake Forest Police Chief Jeff Leonard Tuesday evening, January 21, 2025, with the presentation of a plaque for his 31 years of service and later a resolution to surplus his badge and service weapon to allow him to keep them. Captain Matthew May was also honored and allowed to keep his weapons. Fireman David Davis was honored with a plaque for his decades of service at the fire department.
The commissioners did not hold a closed session about the negotiations for a contract for purchasing some property because of the threat of snow that evening.
