VISION 2030 Group Visits Cary, NC

VISION 2030 Board members, business and government leaders recently visited Cary, North Carolina.  The group had the unique opportunity to tour this dynamic community and learn of their visionary programs and initiatives.

Cary, "the Technology Town of North Carolina," is a thriving community in the heart of an area between Raleigh and Research Triangle Park. The town is repeatedly ranked among the top in the country to live, work, find a home, start a business or retire. Over two-thirds of adults hold a college degree and nearly 9 in 10 citizens have Internet access. The folks in Cary believe an involved citizenry is the hallmark of a strong community and an effective government. They recognize and value the importance of citizen participation in the government.

"We were impressed by their public arts programs, sidewalk campaigns, Area Transit Authority and consolidated school board," said Greater Hall Chamber Chairman Jay Jacobs, Jacobs Media Corporation.  "The VISION 2030 team is inspired by our visit, and we look forward to sharing with our community the great new ideas we learned in Cary."
