The Town of Wake Forest Engineering Department is comprised of three civil/environmental engineers and four construction inspectors. They are responsible for erosion and stormwater plan review and permitting, engineering design work, local roadway improvement projects, traffic improvements, sidewalk improvement, construction inspection, and environmental education. Our work area is within Town right of way and stormwater easements.
