Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting

Hi CAC neighbors, A week from today our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting will be on Tuesday, August 27th at 7:00 PM. We will meet on Zoom and the link is at the bottom of this email. Current Agenda: • Police report • Update from the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation. • Update on rezoning case Z-83-22 (property includes where the Arby’s was on Hillsborough Street). • City Councilors Christina Jones and Jane Harrison will tell us what the City of Raleigh has been doing since the February 2024 vote to re-establish City support and official recognition of the RCAC. Then we’ll have a group discussion about the future of Raleigh’s CACs. As you know, our H-W CAC boundary includes parts of City Council Districts D and E. So I’m very excited that we’ll get to hear from our City Council representatives about what the City of Raleigh has been doing since the February 2024 vote to re-establish City support and official recognition of the RCAC. It will also be very productive and useful for our CAC residents to hear about our Councilors’ vision for the future of CACs, and for our City Councilors to hear from you about what you would like to see happen in the future.

Kickoff of the Fourth Ward Exhibit at the City of Raleigh Museum

City of Raleigh Museum 220 Fayetteville St, Raleigh, NC

Fourth Ward Celebration August 15, 2024 You’re invited! Greetings! I am Octavia Rainey, a Raleigh Historian. I would like to invite you to an event series to learn more about the Fourth Ward neighborhood you live in. The history goes back to the Cannon Planation. The Cannon family land was located near the railroad track and sold to freedmen. The Fourth Ward neighborhood was once a thriving African American neighborhood that was destroyed in the mid-1960s by urban renewal. The Fourth Ward is the name of our neighborhood, and we must maintain the name of our neighborhood. The City of Raleigh has a long-standing history of supporting activities that celebrate the rich history and cultural heritage of the city’s neighborhoods both past and present. This weeklong celebration is an excellent opportunity to come out and meet your old neighbors, talk about the past, and learn about the future of the Fourth Ward. Please join me at any or all of the six Fourth Ward Celebration events listed below. I’m looking forward to seeing you there.

Southwest Community Engagement Meeting

Carolina Pines Community Center 2305 Lake Wheeler Road, Raleigh, NC, United States

After four and a half years, we have approval for access to the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Rd.) We will meet in person, without streaming, this coming Monday evening, September 9th, at 7:00 pm. There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections followed by social time. Hopefully, we can also return to having a program update about Carolina Pines Park's activities. I have been told that we can also use the Center's freezer. Therefore, I will, as previously promised, donate some ice cream. Please come and help with the ice cream. Since I have no idea as to how many will attend I don't need to be left with melting cartons and no freezer space. This meeting is intended to be focused on sharing interests, and concerns and just reacquainting ourselves with our neighbors. Several of our City Councilors have indicated they plan to attend. Please join this gathering if you can. Hopefully, we will have a good turnout. So much of the World has changed over the last few years. If this goes well, I plan to schedule in-person meetings four times a year. (next one in December) The others will continue to […]
