In 2021, the City acquired several parcels next to the King Charles (South) neighborhood area off New Bern Avenue known as Duplex Village. This development purchase was part of a strategic initiative to secure properties in key transit areas.
These parcels directly front the future Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The City plans to redevelop the site to include much needed affordable housing with open, green space along the New Bern Avenue street front. The plan is to also include some first floor commercial businesses of different types, if possible.
We are gathering community input to guide the site’s redevelopment. Please take a moment to tell us what you think should be included in the development.
