Story and photos by Hal Goodtree.

Cary, NC – Dirt is turning at a project called Collins Grove in west-central Cary. We’ve got a few pictures as the earth movers move-in to capitalize on Cary’s hot housing market.

Collins Grove

Collins Grove, a town home development project of Standard Pacific, sits behind Davis Drive Elementary at the intersection of Collins Road and Waldo Rood Blvd. It occupies a small piece of land across from the railroad tracks behind the Upchurch Farms neighborhood. See Collins Grove on a map.

In the pictures, you may notice that the old farmhouse is up on jacks, presumably to be moved to another location.

Signage on the property indicates Collins Grove will be open in the Fall of 2013.

Lori Bush: Building Bradford

From the blog of Lori Bush, Cary Town Council At-Large member.

Cary, NC – 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.
