Project Update

Spring & Summer 2024 Update: Plans have been submitted for permit review. Once we receive feedback will be able to determine a construction schedule.

Background

Cary has owned the lakes near Lake Grove Boulevard since 2010. Maintenance work is needed to bring the dam structures up to current standards. In the 2022 budget, funding was approved to start the design and permitting process. In 2023, funding was approved for construction in the budget.

Project Scope

There are several water bodies with dams that require maintenance and bringing the structures up to current standards. As part of this work, the lakes will require to be lowered in order to add outlet control structures and to dredge the lakes. Access for this work will come in off Lake Grove Blvd and a staging area will be needed that will be part of the future park. A portion of the greenways around the lakes will be built (yellow lines in image below) with this project as access roads will be needed for construction. At the completion of the project, more access and greenways will be provided from the neighborhood to the existing greenways.
