After more than three months of discussions and revisions, Morrisville leaders have set a plan for the town's future development.

At Tuesday night's council meeting, the town council voted unanimously to approve the Land Use & Transportation Plan.

The goal is to set guidelines now for roads, land acquisition and zoning for the next 25 years.

One of the biggest priorities with the plan will be improving NC 54, one of the town's most important thoroughfares.

"I am very pleased, especially when you consider where the first draft of this plan started out -- NC 54 was clearly an afterthought," said Ty Elliott, a Morrisville resident who's been vocal about the plan. "And now it's the cornerstone of the future of our transportation plan, as well as it should be."

Town leaders and community activists both said they did a good job of working together to form a plan that everyone ended up being happy with.
