Town planners and council met Tuesday night to discuss the redevelopment of the area around Cary Towne Center, which will be called the Eastern Cary Gateway. Officials are calling it an “innovation district,” similar to North Hills in Raleigh. The Gateway is an 800-acre area that includes the mall, Wake Med Soccer Park, Triangle Aquatic Center and about 100-acres of vacant land. “It’s an opportunity to have the core of this area have a lot of office space, high-tech research, lots of employment and then to support that with commercial and residential uses that are well-connected and walkable,” said Town of Cary Planning Director Jeff Ulma.
