Advance Apex

Advance Apex was a 20-month planning process conducted between July 2017 and February 2019 that resulted in two plans – a long-range transportation plan and an updated future land use map. The community-driven planning process was intended to: establish the 2045 vision for the transportation system and land use in Apex, identify needs and deficiencies, guide growth and development, recommend specific projects and strategies, and create an action plan for implementation.

At the February 5, 2019 meeting, the Town Council voted unanimously to adopt Advance Apex: The 2045 Transportation Plan and Advance Apex: The 2045 Land Use Map Update. The plans and maps, as adopted on February 5, 2019, are available for viewing using the links below. Note – these are living documents that can be amended over time. The latest versions are available at the bottom of this page.
