We want to answer all of your burning questions about development lingo and understanding city updates so you can better digest what is happening in the City of Oaks.

So, what questions do you have for us? Here’s is an example from recent development pieces to get your wheels turning:

“The Wake County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the use of over $1 billion in hospitality tax funds to be distributed between multiple projects over 25 years.”

Q: What can hospitality tax dollars be used for?

A: These revenues may only be used to support the arts, culture, sports, or convention facilities.

Take our survey to send us your burning development + city questions so we can dig in with a local expert.
