Lori Bush: Parkside Town Commons

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

Cary, NC – I recently wrote about the new development at Bradford, and folks seemed to like the insight and updates on new construction in Cary.  So, in keeping with that previous post, I thought I’d give an update on a project that will be one of the first in the Alston Regional Activity Center.

Lori Bush: Should I Vote for the Cary Bonds?

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

Cary, NC – We are all being bombarded by political ads.  It’s the season for it, for sure.  But there are a number of other measures on the ballot that also require our attention.  One of those, is the Cary Bond referendum.  (I should probably say “referendums” since there are 3 on the ballot.)

Cary, NC – 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. Read more

Lori Bush: Tech Task Force

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

Cary, NC – I promise, there WILL be a time when I DON’T blog about technology. (Ok, maybe that isn’t a promise I can keep.)

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

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.

I wrote about the Searstone and Bradford developments in March (“Construction in Cary”) – and now the work has recently begun at Bradford. Read more

Lori Bush: Obsessed with Technology

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

Cary, NC – 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.

Which is why this is a great and fun week for me!  Not only is the proposal that Councilman Don Frantz and I submitted for the Town of Cary Technology Task Force starting to take shape, but this weekend is CityCamp Raleigh.

Oh, I’m getting ahead of myself. Read more

Lori Bush: Stand Up and Volunteer

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

Cary, NC – Have you ever sat there and said,

  • Why don’t they put a park by my house?
  • Wonder what they’re building over there…
  • I wish we would have bigger recycling bins…
  • I want a walkable Town…
  • Why don’t we have a YouTube channel?
  • I wish Cary would….

If so, then your town needs YOU! Read more

Lori Bush: What Makes Austin So Great?

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

Cary, NC – This last week I spent 3 days traveling with 4 other Cary Town Councilmembers, our Town manager, Town of Cary staff, folks from the Cary Chamber of Commerce and local business leaders to Austin, TX. This Intercity visit was a first for me, and an opportunity to learn, connect and spend some time getting to know other folks who are passionate about our great town. Read more

Opinion: Let’s Vote on May 8

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

Cary, NC – As an elected official, it probably makes sense that I am passionate about democracy and public service.  (Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have run for office, right?)

Perhaps my early engagement learning about our government at Girl’s State is what sparked my pubic service interest.  But it’s watching the process of  government and seeing how few people vote, that fuels me today.  As folks who know me well can tell you, I been an “active” participant in the electoral process –  reminding my family, neighbors, friends and constituents about the importance of voting.

Lori Bush: What Is Public Art?

Story and pictures from the blog of Lori Bush. Lori is an At-Large representative on Cary Town Council.

Cary, NC – When it comes to “art” I have to say that I am ill equipped to judge.  Sure, I like playing with graphic art on my computer.  And I love going to art museums; my favorites being MOMA in New York, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Louvre, in Paris.  I even have a daughter that has tons of artistic skills, loves to paint, and I am forever amazed by her talent.
