Two of the region's biggest developers are planning to transform a 1,000-acre office park into a mixed use development that would include 1,800 units of high density housing, along with hotels, shops, restaurants, and a school. "Cary's slow-growth leaders -- who call traditional office parks "engines for sprawl and traffic" and advocate building homes and shops among employers -- are thrilled." The developers plan to break ground in the fall.
