Wake Forest is growing fast, and so are the questions about what kind of town we’re becoming.
That’s why I’ve launched the Wake Forest Matters Facebook group — a space for serious debate, open discussion, and honest conversation about what matters most to the people who call Wake Forest home.
This isn’t about shouting matches or spin. It’s about community. It’s about neighbors asking hard questions, sharing ideas, and holding the people who shape this town accountable.
If you care about transparency, truth, and progress in Wake Forest — come be part of it.

And keep following Wake Forest Matters here for independent reporting and commentary that’s Fearless. Local. Loud.
