Cary, NC - Mayor Harold Weinbrecht, Jr. presented his 19th Annual State of Cary address Friday morning to a room full of engaged citizens at the Cary Senior Center. Delivered annually by the Mayor, the State of Cary invites residents and local businesses to reflect on where Cary stands today and learn about the choices and direction shaping the Town's future.

"The State of Cary is one of the many ways we share information with our community to help residents understand where we are and where we are headed," said Mayor Weinbrecht. "Especially now, it's important to continue to be transparent, educate each other, and communicate openly. I believe in Cary, and our success has never depended on just one person, but on all of us working together to protect Cary's quality of life and long-term success."

The address highlights shared successes of the Cary community, including the town's strong economy and financial foundation, continued investments in well-maintained infrastructure, roadways, and greenways, and an ongoing commitment to creating a welcoming community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

The Mayor discusses topics including:

• The Town Manager transition
• New leadership and Councilmembers
• Transparency and community engagement
• National and local accolades
• Community demographics
• Finance and the economy
• Development and infrastructure
• Sustainability, transit, and housing initiatives
• Parks, sports venues, and events
• The Imagine Cary Community Plan

Residents can watch the presentation, review the slides, and read the address at carync.gov/stateofcary. Previous State of Cary videos are also available online at Cary's YouTube channel.

The Mayor will also be presenting the State of Cary to a public audience at Cary Town Hall on March 5, 2026. Additional details about this event will be announced in the coming weeks.
