Around Town Park West: Promise in the Making If your car has ever idled at the intersection of Cary Parkway and Chapel Hill Road, you might have noticed construction under way for Morrisville’s Park West Village and wondered whether the town was welcoming new businesses, stores and restaurants, or housing. The answer? All of the above! Once complete, this ambitious 100-acre, mixed-use development site will include a town center district, a community center with major retail anchors, upscale casual restaurants, and a movie theater, all mixed with residential, office, and hospitality.
TyraTech Comes to Morrisville From its initial conception in a Vanderbilt lab to the opening of its 16,000-square-foot headquarters in Morrisville in 2011, TyraTech has operated with a simple premise: “Putting nature to work.” TyraTech is a natural life science company whose products utilize essential plant oils to target receptors unique to parasites and insects to eliminate pests in an environmentally safe, but highly effective manner. On a sultry summer day a broken air conditioner in a Vanderbilt University science lab gave Essam Enan, Ph.D., a research professor of biochemistry, pause to consider nature at work. He noticed that flies were filling the building via the open windows — but not his own lab. After careful consideration, Enan realized his lab was the only one using essential plant oils. He experimented with mixing essential plant oils,
Phase 1 of the project, opened fall of 2011, and includes stores like Target, Jay Andrews Salon & Spa-Aveda, GNC, Massage Envy, Mattress Firm, Omega Sports, Triangle Family Eye Care, PetSmart, Rack Room Shoes, RBC Bank, Ross Dress for Less, Ruckus Pizza, Pasta & Spirits, Sprint, TJ Maxx, YoLo Frozen Yogurt, as well as a host of restaurants and other shops. The creation of Park West Village promises to be a boon to the local economy. According to Sarah Benson Heinrichs of CASTO, the site’s developer, the project will bring an additional annual $500,000 in tax revenue to the Town of Morrisville.
The site is easily accessible from all major roadways in Raleigh/Durham, including interstates 40, 540, 85 and U.S. highways 64, 1, and 70. Once complete, the extension of I-540 from I-40 south to US-1 will add further to the site’s easy accessibility. Those who choose to live in Park West will enjoy a lively, walkable “city within a city,” where they can work, live, and relax in a single neighborhood. Brett Hutchens, partner at CASTO, says, “Park West Village will conveniently offer a mix of office, residential, shopping, and entertainment experiences in one venue.”
eventually creating a product not only capable of eliminating or killing insects and parasites, but of doing so in a safe, environmentallyfriendly way. “Our technology is based on the identification of three receptors active in invertebrates which interact with natural compounds causing repellency or death in insects and parasites,” says Alan Reade, executive chairman of TyraTech. “These receptors are inactive in mammals, which makes our technology completely safe to humans and animals. We are able to produce pest control products equally as effective as synthetics — in many cases superior — that are completely safe to humans and animals and that can be used completely safely in sensitive areas such as kitchens, in homes, and hotels.” Of particular excitement to Reade is the potential to create a food product that will
greatly improve quality of life in emerging and developing countries. “Because of the safety inherent in our technology it can also be taken orally to control intestinal parasites,” Reade says. “This is the cornerstone of our partnership with Kraft Foods: to produce a functional food capable of improving health through greatly reducing the impact of intestinal worms. This is particularly important in developing countries such as Latin America, Asia, and Africa. We are very proud of this project and the very positive impact it can have on society.” TyraTech is also developing food for dogs and cats that can control intestinal worms. When company leaders decided to consolidate activities in a single location, Morrisville was the logical choice. “We wanted to bring all of our activities — science, product development, sales and

marketing, and administration — onto one site,” Reade says. “We know the company will expand, and its success will rely on attracting talented people. We felt that the pool of talent is larger in this area. It’s easier to reach our customers from this area — either in the USA or further afield such as Europe. In addition, there are a large number of laboratories — both commercial and at universities — to cooperate with in the area.” TyraTech added 10 employees at its Morrisville operations in 2011 and will continue to increase those numbers over the coming year.

Bite Dental: A Healthy, Happy Smile Some fear going to the dentist; others merely endure. With the needs of these patients in mind, Anthony DeStefano, DMD, opened his dental practice, Bite Dental, in January 2011 in Morrisville’s Grace Park. “Going to the dentist may not be the best place for people as far as comfort level, so we really like to take the time to interact with our patients and help them relax,” says DeStefano. The sole practitioner at Bite Dental, DeStefano says he centers his practice around his patients,
taking time to get to know them and helping them feel more comfortable not only by interacting with them in a warm, friendly manner, but also by providing a relaxing atmosphere to help take their minds off their anxiety. “We allow a lot of time with our patients,” he says. “We give our hygienists an hour and a half with the patient in a very modern, relaxing, and laid-back environment.”
“We allow a lot of time with our patients.” The modern atmosphere includes amenities such as coffee and tea in waiting areas and TVs and music for viewing and listening pleasure during the dental visit itself. Even though DeStefano’s atmosphere is relaxed, he does not compromise quality for creature comforts. For those needing lab work for crowns or dentures, he utilizes the best local labs — places like Wilmington and Raleigh — rather than China. DeStefano says his desire to become a dentist was an outgrowth of his passion for medicine. “It came to me in college. I always wanted to do something in the medical field. I really just liked the hands-on skills of dentistry and the opportunity to interact with patients.” For those seeking a dentist, Bite Dental provides care for patients ages 3 and up and is open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To set up an appointment, please call the office at 919-571-2484.

Town Hall Welcomes History Center The Town of Morrisville’s leadership understands a lasting future is built on the grounds of a well-considered past. At a time when the town is experiencing robust growth, it is strengthening its ties to its history. As part of the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the town of Morrisville has installed a special Morrisville History Center in the lobby of Town Hall at 100 Town Hall Drive.

“This initiative is part of a larger project to create a vibrant town center,” says Ben Hitchings, Morrisville’s planning director. “In 2007, the town adopted a community vision for creating a central gathering place. As part of this vision, we also wanted to provide a place to tell the story of the community and the Civil War events that occurred here 150 years ago.” The History Center recounts the story of the community’s roots through exhibits, a touch screen with short video vignettes, and a video viewing room that features several longer videos. These include Jeremiah’s Dream, which tells the story of Jeremiah Morris, the town’s namesake; Twilight of Sabers, recounting the Civil War skirmish that took place in Morrisville on April 13,
1865; and a third video describing the community vision for creating a vibrant town. Hitchings adds that “now that the town is on the Civil War trails map, we hope that a growing number of visitors will come here as part of the Civil War anniversary.” For prospective visitors, Morrisville Town Hall is a highly accessible site, with RDUInternational Airport and Interstate 40 just a few minutes away. The History Center is open whenever Town Hall is open, Monday through Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m., except during summer months, when the exhibit closes at noon on Fridays. Hitchings says also there are plans to post the videos to the town’s site at www.townofmorrisville.org.
