Wake Forest commissioners unanimously back resolution urging state, federal support for Capitol Boulevard/US‑1
Summary
Commissioners added a resolution to the agenda and unanimously approved a measure asking the town's federal delegation and the Department of Transportation to prioritize completion of Capitol Boulevard (US‑1). The resolution followed a recent delegation trip to Washington, D.C.
The Wake Forest Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution urging state and federal partners to prioritize completion of Capitol Boulevard (US‑1). Commissioners first moved to add the resolution to the agenda and then voted to adopt it during the same meeting.
A commissioner who described a recent delegation trip to Washington, D.C., said the group had meetings with congressional and Senate staff and officials from transportation committees to press for continued efforts on the US‑1/Capitol Boulevard project. The speaker said the resolution supports outreach to the town's federal delegation and DOT to maintain focus on the project.
A motion to add the item to the agenda passed and a subsequent motion to approve the resolution carried unanimously. No funding appropriation or specific state action deadline was recorded in the meeting discussion.
Commission materials referenced an “after action” report from the delegation trip and said the resolution is intended to underscore Wake Forest's support for continued federal and state attention to the long‑planned roadway improvements.
