Tryon Station Groundbreaking Ceremony - August 23, 2024

Affordable housing is getting a multimillion-dollar boost in Wake County with the groundbreaking of Tryon Station in Garner. This $6.65 million investment by Wake County, supported by an additional $750,000 from the Town of Garner, demonstrates a significant commitment to creating equitable housing opportunities for families in the area.
The project will deliver 176 affordable rental units serving households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income. This means families of four making less than $73,380 annually will have access to quality affordable housing.
The following individuals will be speaking and/or available for interviews:
Morgan Mansa, Deputy Director of Wake County’s Housing Affordability and Community Revitalization Department
Mark Perlman, Equitable Housing and Community Development Division Director, Wake County Housing Affordability and Community Revitalization
