Glen Lang is an American businessman and politician who served as mayor of Cary, North Carolina from 1999 to 2003. Lang first entered politics in 1997 with a self-financed bid for the Cary Town Council.[1] He won, and, two years later, sought and was elected mayor.[2] During his time in Cary politics, Lang was an outspoken advocate of slower growth for the rapidly expanding town as well as for infrastructure improvements,[3][4] incurring the ire of local developers by supporting increased fees for residential development.[5][6] Lang filed for re-election but did not campaign. In the 2003 race Lang placed third, and said the reason for his loss was on account of the fact that he only spent $10 to file and nothing on his campaign.[7] He was succeeded as mayor by Ernie McAlister. Lang is chief executive officer of Capitol Broadband, a wireless communications company,[8] and of its subsidiary Connexion Technologies, specialized in FTTH networks.[4][9] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Cary Races|url=http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/166834/|publisher=wral.com|date=November 4, 1997|accessdate=2009-04-04}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Lang, Glen}}{{NorthCarolina-mayor-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|title=Coble Declares Victory in Raleigh; Lang, Slow-Growth Vote Win in Cary|url=http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/141407/|publisher=wral.com|date=November 1, 1999|accessdate=2009-04-04}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Commission to Examine Cary Growth Issues|url=http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/167812/|publisher=wral.com|date=December 12, 1997|accessdate=2009-04-04}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=Lang nails $40M credit line to grow fiber-optic concern|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/stories/2007/10/15/story6.html|date=October 12, 2007|author=Frank Vinluan|publisher=Triangle Business Journal|accessdate=2009-04-04}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Builders Fear Lang's Victory May be the Nail in their Coffin in Cary|url=http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/141422/|author=Amanda Lamb|publisher=wral.com|date=November 2, 1999|accessdate=2009-04-04}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Cary's growth hits full throttle|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/stories/2005/06/13/story1.html|date=June 10, 2005|author=Kim Nilsen|publisher=Triangle Business Journal|accessdate=2009-04-04}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Small Turnout, But Big Decisions By Area Voters Tuesday|url=http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/107051/|publisher=wral.com|date=Oct 8, 2003|accessdate=2009-04-04}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Capitol venture: Lang starts firm|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/stories/2002/05/06/story2.html|author=Shane Snider|publisher=Triangle Business Journal|date=May 3, 2002|accessdate=2009-04-04}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Corning and Lightwave Open Nominations for Fifth Annual FTTXcellence Award|url=http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/industries/telecom/corning-lightwave-open-nominations-fifth-annual-fttxcellence-award/ |publisher=Fox Business Network|date=April 21, 2008|accessdate=2009-04-07}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} 3 : Year of birth missing (living people)|Living people|Mayors of Cary, North Carolina |
