Wake Forest is a bustling little city with small-town charm and epic history tales. Like any other old town, some stories are more eerie, mysterious, and bizarre than others. Learn about some of the Town’s stories of the historic district’s most haunting legends, just in time for the spooky season.

After nearly three years of developing a booming business in craft beer, cocktails, and Scandinavian cuisine on Brooks Street in Downtown Wake Forest, Norse Brewing Company is growing its footprint by launching a new location in Zebulon and planning an expansion of its flagship location.

Voters in Wake Forest will soon decide how the Town will finance new infrastructure and amenities needed to keep up with current and anticipated growth.

Mention economic development in many circles, and thoughts immediately go to the recruitment of sprawling factories from out-of-state corporations. But plans to sustain the economic health of the Town of Wake Forest include other business development avenues – including retail.
