Leadership: Morrisville's Town Center

Ten plus years ago, Morrisville town staff and elected officials began what would become the process to define our Town Center.  Envisioned as a vibrant gathering place centered around Morrisville's historic crossroads, our Town Center is taking shape S-L-O-W-L-Y.   But it is taking shape!


After ten years of public-public effort, it is time to look for a new approach.  In March, the Town Council reached consensus to continue shaping our Town Center through public-private partnerships.  Staff is in the process of developing an RFQ to gauge private interest, and details for a trip to visit Matthews, NC - to see first hand what has worked and what hasn't - are being finalized.  Our neighbors to the southwest have graciously agreed to share their experiences in creating a successful Town Center partnership.  Stay tuned!
