Cary Village Board

The Village of Cary is looking for developers to transform the Maplewood property after a yearslong battle over the land with School District 26.

Cary School District 26 will sell its Maplewood property to the village for $5.5 million and develop a new transportation site at another location after a years-long dispute over the land.

The Cary Village Board agreed to provide some infrastructure money for a townhouse local developer but balked at funds for landscaping.

The Cary Village Board approved to cover nearly $38,000 of infrastructure costs for the Ridgefield Landing 10-unit townhome property.

A new development at the vacant lot in Cary neighboring the Goddard School and Village Hall is proposed after a previous 98-unit apartment plan dropped out for financial reasons.

The Cary Village Board officially denied School District 26’s plans for creating a new transportation center at the Maplewood property, but promised to continue to work with the district.

Cary School District 26 has halted plans to tear down Maplewood School and build a transportation center next to it after the village board rejected the plans. A second vote is expected.

A week after voting down a proposed transportation center, the Cary School District 26 Board of Education reversed course on Wednesday and unanimously approved a modified version of the plan.

Cary School District 26′s plan to create a transportation center at the old Maplewood Elementary School remains undecided after the Board of Education’s tie vote on the plan.

Now that the Cary Village Board has approved a special tax district for its downtown, not much will happen until developers approach the village with proposals, the village administrator said Thursday.

Cary’s downtown hasn’t seen much new significant development over the years and 43% of structures within the downtown area are more than a century old, Cary Development Director Brian Simmons said.
