Wake Forest Downtown hosted its annual Property Owners’ Luncheon, delivering a compelling and comprehensive presentation focused on Downtown investment, new businesses that opened in the last two fiscal years, and numerous updates on new and ongoing commercial and residential development projects.

The Northern Wake Senior Center is a community resource with relevance to families, workers, and businesses across Wake Forest. Centrally located, the facility is convenient for everyone. Its accessible design invites people of all ages and is especially welcoming to those with functional limitations and cognitive challenges.

The second annual Wake Forest Economic Development Forum was held on February 2nd, 2023, bringing together over 200 attendees from the local area. Jointly presented by the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce and Wake Forest Business and Industry Partnership (WFBIP), attendees received updates on the Town’s ongoing developments and welcomed Ted Abernathy to discuss how Wake Forest fits into the national and global economy.

A monumental public transportation plan is in motion for the Town! Upon completion, the restoration of high-speed passenger rail service along the S-line from Raleigh to Richmond, along with three commuter rail stops in Wake Forest, will dramatically improve the local and regional landscape over the next 3 to 7 years.

Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices were recently installed at various locations across Downtown Wake Forest, pioneering new technologies in Town that can improve the delivery of critical public services and provide residents and small businesses with actionable information in real-time.
