Over the past several decades, WakeUP Wake County has advocated for sustainable growth planning in our area. This type of planning focuses on the impact of policy and development on the region in key areas like:
- ECONOMIC VIABILITY
- ENVIRONMENT HEALTH/CLIMATE
- SOCIAL EQUITY
Investing in these areas as a strategic and intentional step to development planning allows us to preserve the environment and mitigate climate change while tackling issues like poverty, social inclusivity, and fostering long-term economic growth.
From climate change, education, water quality, transportation, and land use/zoning, WakeUP works at the intersection of these issues as a part of ensuring that each component of our community has a voice and opportunity to thrive equally – advocating for changes that can be made today to set our community up as a whole for tomorrow.
