Community members gathered in Cary on Sunday for the 2025 Triangle Walk to Defeat Dementia at Fenton Park — the event supports families impacted by dementia.

Beginning April 29 and continuing through mid-May, Iron Horse Contractors will reduce to one lane on Jones Dairy Road between Green Mountain Drive and Friendship Chapel Road from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily to safely widen the road—signage and flaggers will help direct traffic while delays are expected, so motorists should consider alternate routes.
