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

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.
