The interests of residents and businesses will be at the forefront of policies and public investment that foster sustained prosperity. Since the community is mostly developed, the exis ng suburban pa ern of high quality residen al, office, and shopping areas will remain dominant. In strategic and appropriate loca ons, emerging new development pa erns—greater intensity in a walkable, mixed use form—will be encouraged to provide exis ng and future residents addi onal choices for living, connec ng, working, playing, and shopping. The a rac ve physical se ng—including both the natural and built environment—strengthens community pride and encourages private investment. This is also true with the consistent delivery of high quality community infrastructure, services and facili es. The community also con nues to prosper through a en on to quality and a commitment to a sense of community, culture, and history, revealing the authen c and special Cary.
