Coming to Fuquay-VarinaWHAT’S COMINGTO FUQUAY-VARINA?The landscape of Fuquay-Varina is constantly changing, and continues to evolve as one of the state’s fastest-growing communities. The combination of growth in the retail and service markets and the development of larger, more extensive projects is setting Fuquay-Varina apart from other local communities as it prepares for the massive residential growth that is predicted for the next 15 years.
