▪ Challenges and Opportunities ▪ Designing Development in Cary ▪ Policy Direction ▪ How We Will Achieve Our Vision ▪ Future Growth Framework and Special Planning Areas ▪ Related Policy Direction in Other Chapters Cary will manage land to create a distinctive, attractive, physical environment for our growing and diverse town while maintaining our community character. Development should focus on creating and maintaining high-quality commercial areas and strong residential neighborhoods complemented by walkable mixed use activity nodes that serve all citizens. Cary has a long history of being a well-managed and planned community. Numerous policy documents have been developed over the years that have guided annex- ation, community investment, and land planning deci- sions. The Town will carry forward many of these operat- ing policies while setting the stage for new development opportunities that reinforce the Town's vision to encour- age redevelopment and infill development and new vi- brant mixed use and walkable destination centers. CARY COMMUNITY PLAN 2040 Cary will focus redevelopment efforts on underperform- ing land and building assets, and focus new infill develop- ment on vacant areas that are already served by existing infrastructure. Older shopping centers and commercial ar- eas are key redevelopment priorities. And downtown rep- resents a good opportunity to invest in a way that creates an active, walkable mixed use environment which yields greater economic value and a point of pride for Cary. 6.
