Lori Bush: Parkside Town Commons
The site plan is currently in its 3rd review at the Town of Cary and construction on the first phase should begin the first quarter of 2013 – with the TARGET Store opening in March of 2014. The next phases will be developed soon after.
Lori Bush: Should I Vote for the Cary Bonds?
We are now at a point that some of those projects need to be reconsidered if we are to continue to support the high quality of life that Cary citizens have come to expect. If all 3 bonds are approved, the property tax rate will increase 2 cents in 2013, and 2 cents again, in 2015.
Lori Bush: Musings
As I sit here at my lunch break, I realized that I haven’t been very public about all the various issues that have come before council lately. So, in the spirit of open communications – here are my thoughts regarding some of these recent issues.
Lori Bush: Tech Task Force
Our very own Cary “Geek Squad” aka the “Technology Task Force” met Wednesday for the first time at Town Hall. I was impressed with the breadth and depth of their experience, their passion for making Cary a better place, and their willingness to take valuable time out of their lives to help in this important endeavor.
Lori Bush: Building Bradford
Some folks say that they can tell when the economy is starting to come back when they see the construction trucks roll in. I’m not sure that’s the best indicator – but the trucks are starting to roll at the corner of Davis Drive and High House.
Lori Bush: Obsessed with Technology
So, if you didn’t know it before hand, it’s got to be abundantly clear by now. I’m a nerd. Or a geek. Maybe the right term is technology obsessed. Whatever the right term is, you get the picture.
Lori Bush: Stand Up and Volunteer
We have seven boards and commissions right now at the Town and each of them provides a vital and important role to staff and Town Council. By participating on one of the boards, you are giving us your “citizen recommendations” for all types of activities, events, and policies throughout the town, on issues that impact our entire community.
Lori Bush: What Makes Austin So Great?
Although I took vacation from my “day job” to attend this Intercity trip, it was definitely a “work trip.” Our trip to the “Texas Hill Country” included time in Austin, Round Rock and a lesson on transit challenges from the folks in Leander.
Opinion: Let’s Vote on May 8
In the 2008 Presidential election about 63% of eligible voters cast their ballots – but in local elections, that number is closer to 15%. Yes, 15%. This has always surprised me. Why would you NOT vote?
