Cary Towne Center Site's Future Remains Uncertain After Rezoning Request Withdrawal

January 30, 2025 - 08:17

The former site of Cary Towne Center, which has sat empty for years, may stay that way for a while longer. Epic Games has officially withdrawn its request for rezoning the property, a move that leaves the future of the site in limbo. The company had aimed to transform the long-vacant space into a hub for its operations, but the lack of activity surrounding the proposal has prompted this recent decision.

Originally, the rezoning was intended to pave the way for new developments that could potentially revitalize the area and attract visitors. However, the withdrawal signals a setback for those hoping to see progress at the site. Local officials and community members have expressed concerns about the prolonged vacancy and its impact on the surrounding neighborhood.

As discussions about the site’s future continue, residents are left wondering what will come next for the once-bustling Cary Towne Center. The absence of a concrete plan raises questions about the potential for new businesses or developments that could breathe life back into the area.
