  • Central CAC Meeting

    Tarboro Road Community Center

    Our next meeting will be at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, October 27 at Tarboro Road Community Center.  In this meeting we'll hear from candidates for Raleigh city council's District D seat, incumbent Jane Harrison and challenger Jevon Smith.  We'll also see a presentation on The Oakline, a proposed elevated pedestrian connector from downtown to Dix Park.  This is a chance for us to have a look at the proposed project and give early feedback directly to designers and our District D city councilor. In October we'll also take a few minutes to discuss upcoming meeting topics, which will include a forum on public safety and presentations on housing, with emphasis on how we can help keep current residents in their homes.  We'll additionally talk about establishment of committees to manage special CAC projects.  Please come out and give your input on these issues.  And bring a neighbor!  We're still building momentum with this restarted CAC and need to get the word out. One final matter -- we'll have a vacancy on the CAC leadership team that we'd like to fill during the October meeting.  The open position will be the Secretary position.  This officer is in charge of meeting minutes, […]
