A well-informed person was kind enough to spend some time with me to discuss Cary's growth issues. A few (of the many) things I did not know.... Cary is down to about 8,000 buildable acres left, that is, unless we continue to annex our way to the Atlantic ocean. Look for more developers' proposals to build up with high-density projects as the land gets scarce. I used to live in Manassas, VA, which went through the same unchecked growth experience as Cary. I just perused the local Manassas paper, here are a few bits from today's edition:
Budget calls for higher utility rates
Police blotter for March 27
M. Park balances its budget
Local officials: Veto road plan
Potomac Parkway is now regrettably needed
Take a few minutes and read these articles and letters... The stories will sound all too familiar, and give an all too scary picture of what uncontrolled development can do to ruin a nice town.
