Representatives of the Morgan Property Group, the development company for the site located at the corners of Falls of Neuse and Dunn Roads, will begin to knock on doors in the Bedford community to listen to citizen’s concerns.

“Morgan Property Group is coming to Bedford and surrounding areas to listen to the communities’ concerns about development for the Falls of Neuse/Dunn Roads area,” said Trey Morgan, President of Morgan Property Group.  “We want the residents to know we are coming to your door to get your input.  We want to listen to your ideas.”

Much of the retail planned for Bedford was never built.  This location is the last available nearby property to provide retail serving the area.  The current zoning on the property would allow for a 24/7 convenience store, fast food or bar but the Morgan Property Group has NO interest in building those on this site.  A rezoning request for the property will be thoroughly vetted in public hearings with public input and in accordance with the City of Raleigh rules and regulations.

“It’s no secret that Publix Grocery Store has an interest in this site.  A grocery-anchored retail center would be designed for convenience of the immediate community.  We want to work with local residents, planning staff, and city and county leaders on the proposed plan.  Morgan Property Group wants to make sure to address the issues and develop a plan together that can work for the immediate neighborhood,” stated Jeff Surrency, VP of Development, Morgan Property Group.  For more information visit http://www.bringpublix.com.
