Apex Launches Community Survey
The town is partnering with Zencity to gather community feedback about what our residents are happy with, where we can improve, and what’s important to you.
If you see the image below as you're scrolling through your feeds over the next few weeks, give it a click! It only takes about five minutes to complete the questions.
Later this month, we'll share a link for all Apex residents to contribute their feedback. These responses will be kept separate, in order for the survey results to remain statistically valid.
More info on survey methods, and our partnership with Zencity, at www.apexnc.org/survey.

Apex Night Out (featuring Touch-a-Truck)
4:30 pm – 7 pm | Town Hall Campus
Enjoy an evening that combines everything you love about our annual National Night Out and Touch-a-Truck events!
National Night Out fosters a strong relationship between community members and law enforcement. Typically, National Night Out events are in August, but we host our event in October to beat the summer heat. Come out to see safety information and displays, as well house games and lots of interactive activities.
Touch-a-Truck allows children to get in the driver’s seat with a free hands-on experience with vehicles of all kinds. We will have local representatives and their vehicles from emergency, construction, landscaping, military, transportation, and delivery all in one place! Children will be allowed to touch, climb on, and ask questions about their favorite trucks and cars in a safe and supervised environment.
Visit the event page at www.apexnc.org/nightout

Bricks Available at Apex Service Memorial
As a tribute to those who serve to provide safety and protect our freedoms, both at home and abroad, the Town of Apex constructed a memorial space in the heart of downtown at the corner of Salem Street and Saunders Street.
Paths of engraved bricks radiate out from the center of the monument, forming the foundation of this space. Only 45 blank bricks remain - now through Veteran’s Day, the town is accepting new orders for engraved bricks. These are intended to honor friends or family members who are public safety workers, or who serve or have served in the armed forces. The price per brick is $200 – funds from brick purchases are used solely for the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the memorial area.
Complete the form to place your order before November 11th.
