### Downtown Apex Revitalization
Exciting changes are underway in Downtown Apex. The Apex Revitalization Plan, which began in January, is transforming the area in multiple phases. Phase 1 is already adding over 150 parking spaces and 9 electric vehicle chargers. Future phases will create a more pedestrian-friendly Salem Street and revitalize alleyways for outdoor dining and vibrant public spaces[1].

### Air Quality
The air quality in the region remains relatively good, with current PM2.5 levels within the Code Green range, indicating healthy air quality. However, with the cold temperatures, there might be an uptick in residential wood burning, which will be monitored closely[4].
