WakeUP Wake County's Mission & Vision: The mission of WakeUP is to educate the public and key decision-makers about the growth challenges for Wake County and the region, and to advocate for innovative solutions to local growth issues that will ensure a high quality of life for all of us for decades to come. WakeUP was founded on the belief that growth is good, as long as development is planned with the goal of long term sustainability for the entire community. This means development that connects people, creates stronger, vibrant neighborhoods, supports more transportation options, enhances the local economy, protects our drinking water and open space, and creates housing for people of all incomes. WakeUP believes in fairness – new growth should help pay for the infrastructure needed to support new development, and not place the burden solely on taxpayers and those on limited or fixed incomes.
