West Raleigh CAC (Virtual) including Lorimer Spring AH Development discussion
2025-02-26 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | NC
Meeting Wednesday February 26th at 7pm
It’s time to meet and talk about what’s going on in West Raleigh!
We had a detailed discussion with City Planner Keegan McDonald around Transit zoning and the possible Lorimer Spring Affordable Housing Development.
This month we will talk with Tim Morgan from Evergreen Construction about the proposed 60 rental apartments that will be age restricted to those 55 years or older. Will these be all affordable rentals? What is the income level that an applicant will need to meet to be eligible to live there? What other sites were considered for this development and why does this site fit the criteria for this level of density?

We will have Captain Jonathan Manson from RPD to discuss crime in this area of Raleigh as well as representatives from the Transportation and Utilities departments to talk about the impact along Garland Drive if this proposed development moves forward.
We will also hold time for community updates from our members and welcome you to bring any topic to us for consideration at future meetings.
We hope you can join us via zoom on Wednesday evening at 7pm.
