The town of Wake Forest is all about leveraging the resources within our community to grow businesses. With the new Wake Forest Founders Program officially announced last month, WFBIP sat down with the Program Manager, Clark Rinehart, and the Loading Dock’s Chief Strategy Officer and Wake Forest Founder’s Program Consultant, Velvet Nelson, to discuss more on this new cohort launching in February of 2023.

As prices for practically everything seem to increase on a regular basis, the recently adopted Wake Forest Housing Affordability Plan constitutes the blueprint for expanding housing opportunities to meet the growing demand created by Wake Forest’s continuous influx of new residents.

Construction work is currently humming at the nearly 100-acre property known as Grove 98, that could transform what it means to live, work, and play in Wake Forest.

We’re excited to announce that the Wake Forest Business & Industry Partnership (WFBIP) is launching a cohort-based program, Wake Forest Founders, at The Loading Dock - Wake Forest in early 2023!

Keith Wallace, who leads business development and leasing for Merritt Properties, discusses why Wake Forest has been a stellar place to not only develop Merritt Capital Business Park, but to fully entrench live, work, and play in the Town.
