I have friends in both Cary and Morrisville and we were discussing the differences...while Cary offers more residential services, Morrisville can't because it is very small when compared to the size of Cary and don't have enough resources! Why not just include those few Morrisville square miles under Cary's jurisdiction so the residents get more benefits and there is no need for a separate town administration as a whole! The resources can be better utilized for other resident beneficial services!! Cary is 55 square miles, Morrisville is 8 square miles, how hard is it to mange 8 more miles. There is a huge saving in administration cost. Cary has everything well established, so it won't be a complicated transition. Though we don't want to forget historic Morrisville, we can still have the address remain same just bring the entire administration under Cary. Makes sense to me!!
Does Morrisville have a historic district? Or a downtown? I've driven around but never saw one.
What is the reason for all this annexing anyway? If you look at the history, there's no way Cary and Morrisville would be one. Our family that used to live in Hedgewood Court in west Cary (off Cary Glen Blvd and Green Level Church Road) -they moved in 2001 and their mailing address used to be Morrisville. After several years it changed to Cary, NC.
Annexation brings city/town services to residents of the growing areas and broadens the municipalities tax base. Mailing addresses don't necessarily match up with where a property is located. If post office coverage areas shifted as things built up, that could easily change their mailing address.
The horse is out of the barn. Back in the late 70s or early 80s when growth was explosive, somebody should have had enough guts to combine Cary + Morrisville and Apex + Holly Springs, but never happened. "Cary" should never have been allowed to annex all the way over to the other side of 1010 near West Lake Road.... that part of the county just ain't Cary..., it's Fuquay Varina or Holly Springs. At least it's not as bad as up north.... up there they have villages and townships which overlap each other, and then they have the county government to deal with -- what a mess that is.
I live in Holly Springs. I trust Apex's Militiamen to defend the advance.
I think HS Mayor wants to be equal to Cary.
I have a HS address but FV is surrounding us. Just a matter of time before one of them decides we need to be part of a town!
