Safety Is Priority. Cary was rated one of the safest cities in the nation (based on 2019 data). However, car break-ins, car thefts, and vandalism are reported on social media with greater regularity.
Our kids need to be able to play outside without fear. We need to be able to walk our greenways without fear. We need to keep Cary safe by:
- providing the men and women who protect and serve our communities with the proper equipment and training;
- being competitive with other municipalities, so we are able to hire and keep the best of the best;
- and encouraging maximum citizen participation in taking responsibility for safety awareness.
Keep Taxes Low

Keep Taxes Low. Cary has historically had the lowest taxes of the municipalities in Wake County. Federal and state funds were used to build much of our infrastructure. Cary citizens deserve the very best and that means keeping our standards high and taxes low by:
- focusing on the needs, not the wants, of the town and keeping spending in check;
- comparing services offered in our town to similar cities and towns; and
- exploring ways to reduce taxes in both challenging and robust economic climates.
Focus on Infrastructure

Focus on Infrastructure. Cary is growing and it will continue to do so. Today, our roads are riddled with potholes and sinkholes threaten some of our main roadways. It is important that our infrastructure - roads, sidewalks, water and sewer lines - both be maintained and answer the needs that arise from growth. We will strengthen our infrastructure by:
- reviewing our current and long-term infrastructure priorities; and
- consulting expert guidance, as well as resident input, on infrastructure focus.
Grow Strategically

Grow Strategically. It is awesome to live, work, and play in Cary!
The new developments in downtown Cary, or those off Cary Towne Boulevard, or in west Cary bring an exciting vitality to our town. But how do we maintain the “hometown” feel that gives Cary its charm while continuing to grow? We need to strategically plan growth by:
- finding the balance between property rights of those that own land and excessive rezoning requests for more land;
- guaranteeing our current citizens’ needs are met before adding more developments;
- and considering how growth will affect the welcoming spirit and charm of Cary.
