An unmet challenge in the area encompassing historic downtown Wake Forest, North Carolina, is the empty buildings and spaces found in the core of our community. Wake Forest Downtown, Inc., a non-profit group of dedicated citizens committed to enhancing and maintaining the charm & vibrancy of this area, brought together our area's top architects on Oct. 10, 2015. Their creative design plans were presented to town officials, stakeholders and the public as a way to inspire change. This presentation is a recap of the day and the designs created.
