The N.C. Department of Transportation is proposing roadway network improvements in the area of a large economic development site in southeastern Chatham County known as Triangle Innovation Point.
Based on Chatham County’s vision for the Moncure Megasite (also known as Triangle Innovation Point), a 2,150-acre group of parcels under one ownership being promoted for industrial development, roadway improvements are needed in this area.
Chatham County’s Future Land Use and Conservation Plan indicates the area is an “Employment Center” and is targeted for future job-generating uses.
Development of the Triangle Innovation Point East site will support the County’s primary economic development goal to Diversify the tax base and generate more high quality, in-county jobs to reduce dependence on residential property taxes, create economic opportunity and reduce out-commuting. The project will support goals outlined in Chatham County’s Future Land Use and Conservation Plan.
