Construction Continues on Holly Springs Town Center Project

Although sometimes tough to see when driving by, the Town Center Project construction team has been hard at work this summer, prepping underlying infrastructure that is critical to support vertical construction. This initial phase of the project encompasses clearing, grading, excavation, earthwork, building retaining walls, and installing various utilities and streets. While months of planned sitework remains, it is exciting to see movement and progress. Each day is another day closer to seeing the Town Center vision brought to life.

As sitework continues, project plans have been finalized to include the construction of the initial phase of Hickory Springs Parkway. The first portion of the new parkway, which borders the eastern edge of the site, will be built in conjunction with the Town Center construction. This portion of the parkway is one of three segments that will ultimately complete the connection to the north and south of the site.

I am also excited to announce that a variety of new home options will be available in the Holly Springs Town Center, with first releases for sale expected this year. Plans include attached townhomes and detached city homes, offering walkable access to Town Center's restaurants, green spaces, and events as well as stacked lofts and central retail. I am glad that our team has been able to incorporate different housing styles at Town Center, both for sale and for lease.

Approximately 70 homes will be situated to the south of Hickory Road, just steps from the heart of Town Center and its restaurants, amphitheater, and event lawn. Those interested in new homes should check HollySpringsTownCenter.com for updates and to join the new homes interest list.

Before wrapping up, I want to take a moment to tell you what an incredible staff the City of Holly Springs employs. Our team is top-notch and is always looking to serve residents to the best of their ability. This month, I would like to recognize and congratulate our finance director, Denise Lamazares, as the City has once again been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association for the its 2020 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The City has earned this recognition each year since 2012.
