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!

The density allowed along the Frequent Transit Area (FTA) or Transit Overlay District (TOD) is of concern to Larry and other neighbors.
