What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Research Triangle Foundation, which manages Research Triangle Park, adopted zoning changes that permit the construction of apartments and townhouses within the park area. This shift is occurring as major companies, including Lenovo and Novartis, announced a significant expansion earlier this year, backed by a $770 million investment. Historically, the park was designed solely for weekday office work.
