tl;dr You've probably heard "Responsible Growth" from plenty of candidates, but my idea is different. It's about making sure the Apex we love still works for everyone today, 30 years from now, and well beyond.
Hi Apex. It's Andre. You've probably heard responsible growth from plenty of candidates, but my idea is different. It's not about cramming more homes, more buildings, and more traffic lights. It's about making sure the Apex we love still works for everyone today, 30 years from now, and well beyond. We do a lot of things right, and you've seen it yourself. The quick response and clear updates for Olive Chapel Road, the way Apex Peakway is being reimagined without shutting the whole town down, the fast recovery after our utilities building system was compromised.
That ability to move effectively and keep people informed, well, that's just in our DNA. But here's the thing: what about the everyday stuff? I saw a Reddit post asking, Is downtown Apex good for young families outside of big events? That's the kind of everyday question we should be thinking about, because it points to the quiet parts that matter just as much as the big ones.
Here's my vision: An Apex where kids can leave for college and still afford to come home. Where young families have the same opportunities mine did. Where teachers, town employees, and young people aren't priced out. Making Apex work just as well for the established neighborhoods as it does for the new developments. That's sustainable growth; keeping what we do well and building on it for everyone. Not just for now but for the future.
