WCDP Election Central – Candidate Information
Shane Reese
Apex Town Council
Candidate Statement:
While serving as a steering committee member for the Town of Apex’s 2045 Land Use and Transportation Plan, Shane was a strong advocate for building new parks, expanding greenways, increasing walkable mixed-use spaces, and supporting transit options — all while protecting Apex’s small-town spirit amid development pressures.
Direct Quote:
I am running for Apex Town Council to champion a vision for our town that balances thoughtful development, vibrant business growth, and the preservation of our cherished small-town character.
Issues:
Ensuring Responsible Growth
Act as a vigilant watchdog for new developments to promote sustainable, well-planned growth, including rejecting slash-and-build construction and encouraging home-building at price points that welcome a variety of backgrounds and incomes.
Boosting Business and Promoting Downtown
Support small businesses by expanding our small business incubator program, and promote the heart of Apex as a hub for our entire community by fast-tracking our Downtown Plan.
Protecting our Small-Town Quality of Life
Maintain the neighborly spirit and sense of belonging that make Apex the “Peak of Good Living” by building more greenways, extending sidewalks, and expanding our parks.
