Staff announced Rose Park Manor (81 deeply affordable senior units) is open, Cedar Street parking deck opened with ~290 spaces and Academy Street deck should open next week; a Cary‑Apex‑Holly Springs wastewater capacity study is expected to deliver results this fall.
Council received a series of project and operations updates at the March 24 work session.
Heather, housing staff, reported that Rose Park Manor is open and has signed leases for 81 deeply affordable senior units; five residents from Chatham Estates have moved in so far. Staff characterized the project as about a $25M development that combines tax credits and local contributions; Cary’s contribution was described as $3M.
Interim Town Manager Russ Overton said the Cedar Street parking deck opened with about 290 additional spaces and staff hope the Academy Street deck will open the following week. Staff discussed operational issues, including the formation of HOAs and the possible use of parking ambassadors at busy times.
On regional infrastructure, staff updated council about a wastewater capacity study with Apex and Holly Springs; preliminary study work is expected this summer and a report to council in the fall. Staff said interjurisdictional talks remain active as they consider long‑term capacity and partnership options.
Council thanked the fire department for recent community emergency response training and adjourned the meeting.
