At its October 21, 2025, Board of Commissioners meeting, Commissioners unanimously approved the Town’s first Affordable Housing Plan. This is a major milestone in shaping a community where everyone can find a place to call home.
As our population grows and housing prices rise, this plan outlines a clear path to provide more diverse, attainable housing options while protecting the small-town charm that makes Rolesville special.
Why It Matters
Rolesville’s housing market has become less accessible for many, including first-time buyers and young families to seniors, and essential workers. The plan addresses these challenges with tools and strategies that ensure the Town remains livable for all.
Key Strategies in the Approved Plan:
- Zoning updates to allow for more housing types like duplexes, townhomes, and cottage courts
- Public-private partnerships with groups like Habitat for Humanity (Read more)
- Use of Town-owned land to develop new affordable housing
- Development incentives such as density bonuses or reduced fees for projects that include affordable units
- Faster permitting for projects that support inclusive housing goals
- Ongoing community engagement to align growth with resident values
What’s Next?
Implementation of the plan will begin immediately, with roles for Town staff, community partners, and residents. The Town is committed to transparency and collaboration as we move forward.
