The management at the airport are excited for the development and expansion of the 401 Highway that links Rolesville and Raleigh to KLHZ. It’s currently turning the two-lane highway into four lanes, which will speed up access to the airfield from the downtown area of Raleigh to around a 25-minute commute. A huge proponent of this development was the 401 Committee, who knew the benefits of completing this project and putting the airport in the spotlight, as now more people can access the airfield. The Franklin County Economic Development Commission has also collaborated closely with the airport. “We have a huge synergy with the Franklin County Economic Development team,” says Carson. “We are considered to be a big economic development asset in the region and state. The airport is constantly assisting or contributing to the tax base. We make sure people can move from place to place and assist with transporting people for business.” TR I ANGLE NORTH EXECUT I VE A I RPORT Rolesville, North Carolina has a rich history and a genuine community feel that makes our Town unique. We seek to build a place that is focused on walkability, with connections to parks, greenways, and gathering spaces. Throughout the year, neighbors connect with each other at recreation programs, playgrounds and local trails. It is a safe place to live, and quality planned communities offer a wide variety of home styles and price choices. The vision for a charming downtown features quaint coffee shops, breweries, and locally owned shops. Several times a year the Town attracts regional visitors to annual events, concerts, and festivals. Mixed-use land development along the downtown core makes Main Street a true destination. All of this is within a short drive to the Capital City of Raleigh. According to the 2020 Census, Rolesville was the fastest growing town in the state among municipalities with populations of 5,000 or more, growing 150% in the last decade. Rolesville is delivering on the promise of a genuine Wake County Town providing high quality of life for its residents and opportunity for new commercial development, specifically retail businesses and medical providers to serve current and future households, as well as office and flex space for small to mid-sized companies. Looking to the future, Town leaders are embracing the growth, while maintaining Rolesville’s desirable small town character. ...... For more information, please visit our website www.rolesvillenc.gov
