Hi folks! Because Lions Park is closed for maintenance this month we will be meeting at Tap Yard Raleigh, which has graciously provided us meeting space. Thank you, Tap Yard! We will hear from our friends at the Raleigh Neighborhood College who will explain this wonderful, free program. The College helps train Raleigh residents on how the city works and how THEY can play a leadership role in their community. You don't want to miss this presentation! I am also hoping to get folks from Raleigh Water to discuss the new billing changes. We will also form a nomination committee to collect candidate names for our open role of East CAC Chair. Please consider this great opportunity to help lead your community! Tap Yard Raleigh is at 1610 Automotive Way, near Brookside Drive and Capital Blvd. We will be meeting in the front Tavern room. https://maps.app.goo.gl/qhHZDNGKz1LnWE1V8 See you Monday, 15 September at 7 PM at Tap Yard!

Special Meeting of West Raleigh CAC We are holding a special in person meeting on Tuesday September 16th at 1:00pmto meet with a reporter from the News and Observer. Larry King who lives next to the affordable housing development called Lorimer Springs that is to be built this year will also be in attendance. This is an in person meeting only, there will be no zoom link or recordings made of the meeting. There will be a photographer from the N&O. The density allowed along the Frequent Transit Area (FTA) or Transit Overlay District (TOD) is of concern to Larry and other neighbors. The West Raleigh CAC is offering the space for concerned residents to meet. This is in addition to the two meetings that were held earlier this year to discuss this issue. This is an open meeting and will last one hour. At this time, there is no indication that Lorimer Springs will modify it’s proposed density of 60 units in a three story building. A site plan has been filed with the City that meets the zoning conditions of the FTA. Time: Tuesday September 16th at 1:00pm Location: Powell Drive Park Neighborhood Center 740 Powell Drive
