Steve Rao FaceBook Live Thoughts on the Land Use Plan

Tomorrow, evening, we plan to Vote on the Land Use Plan. I will be sharing a Position Paper next week on my Vision for Morrisville, and how the Land Use Plan can help us execute on that Vision.
First, I want to thank the staff for their hard work, and to the citizens and businesses across all of Morrisville, who have shared their input. Over the past few months, I have read many emails, and received calls, where there is repeated concerns about upzoning.

Please remember that adopting a Land Use Plan and rezoning are different issues, and we can deny rezonings on a case by case by case basis to make sure that we can catch up with the demands on our school and transportation infastructure. We can also place conditions on developers and partner with them to invest more in transportation, parks, and also control the quality of development.

My goal is to be a true LIVE, WORK AND PLAY Community, where all of us can Live Connected and Live Well.

We continue to recruit and grow the top Tech and Life Science companies to the Town. 10 percent of all Public Companies in North Carolina are headquartered in Morrisville, including Lenovo, Cisco, Channel Advisor, and Syneos Health, and of course, we landed Microsoft last year. Employees can not only work in Morrisville, but also Live here, and walk to transit, and experience the connection to beautiful greenways.

One Shared Vision for One Morrisville is how we will continue to be the best place to Live, Work, and Play in Country and World.

Thanks to all of you for being so engaged, and let us continue to ensure that the Mosaic of Morrisville can be all that she can be.
