Ailey Young House and Northeast Gateway Park Resident Opinion Survey

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey! The Ailey Young House and Northeast Gateway Park is a Town of Wake Forest-funded project that aims to share the history of the Young Family and the Northeast Community. Upon completion, the revitalized site will serve as an outdoor space for everyone to enjoy.


This survey includes similar questions asked during the Open House. Even if you attended the Open House, you are welcome to complete the survey and share it with your neighbors. Your input is crucial to this process, and your survey responses are extremely valuable to our design team as we develop design alternatives for the Ailey Young House and Northeast Gateway Park.
