Happy New Year, I hope that everyone had an enjoyable holiday. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe New Year. In addition to our normal updates on local police activities and community updates, we will have Tiesha Mosely, Director of Community Engagement as our guest in January. As I previously mentioned,  the Community Engagement and Housing and Neighborhoods groups merged at the end of 2024. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the merger and the anticipated benefits to the residents of Raleigh. As is customary, we will also have our local Councilors (Christina Jones and Mitchell Silver) present to provide updates on items of interest to the community. This will also be an opportunity to meet our former candidate and now our newly elected District A Councilor, Mitchell Silver.

Hi CAC neighbors, Our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting is tomorrow evening Tuesday, January 28 at 7:00 PM. Our meeting location is at the Pullen Community Center at 408 Ashe Avenue. This meeting is critical to making progress this year with Raleigh’s new community engagement efforts. As you may recall, it was a year ago in early February that District E City Councilor Christina Jones introduced a series of motions to re-establish the City of Raleigh’s recognition and support of CACs. While we’ve made some progress this past year, we have much to do this year. Including making sure every Raleigh resident has an equal opportunity to be represented by a CAC where they live. CAC volunteers and City staff need to work together to stand back up CACs in parts of town where they disappeared after the 2020 City Council vote to stop supporting CACs. As a CAC Chair and RCAC Chair, Christina Jones reminded the Council every month for 4 years that the City never came up with any new community engagement opportunities to replace CACs.  Almost a year ago Christina led the City Council to reverse that mistake from 2020.

Meeting Wednesday February 26th at 7pm It’s time to meet and talk about what’s going on in West Raleigh! We had a detailed discussion with City Planner Keegan McDonald around Transit zoning and the possible Lorimer Spring Affordable Housing Development. This month we will talk with Tim Morgan from Evergreen Construction about the proposed 60 rental apartments that will be age restricted to those 55 years or older. Will these be all affordable rentals? What is the income level that an applicant will need to meet to be eligible to live there? What other sites were considered for this development and why does this site fit the criteria for this level of density?   We will have Captain Jonathan Manson from RPD to discuss crime in this area of Raleigh as well as representatives from the Transportation and Utilities departments to talk about the impact along Garland Drive if this proposed development moves forward. We will also hold time for community updates from our members and welcome you to bring any topic to us for consideration at future meetings. We hope you can join us via zoom on Wednesday evening at 7pm. Zoom Link follows the agenda *Agenda* Lorimer Spring […]
