The Southwest Area Study team will hold a series of workshops this week.

All residents and business owners are invited to attend. The workshops will focus on communicating the likely outcomes of existing growth trends and will be used to gather input from participants regarding priority needs for transportation, enhanced mass transit and improved walking and bicycling conditions.

Wednesday's workshop will be held at the Fuquay-Varina Community Center located at 820 South Main St., and Thursday's workshop will be held at the Bass Lake Retreat Center located at 900 Bass Lake Road in Holly Springs.
