Stewart recently worked with Harnett County and the Town of Angier on a strategic plan for the flourishing area of Northwest Harnett County. The plan included providing guidance on how to accommodate growth while preserving the character of rural areas and historic crossroads communities. Form-based design guidelines were illustrated by Stewart’s landscape architects and urban designers and to lay the groundwork for ordinance updates that raise the bar for new development. The study area for the NW Harnett Small Area Plan is 81 square miles and sits on the edge of Fuquay-Varina and a rapidly growing portion of Wake County. The study area remains rural in nature and is experiencing development pressure.
