Hillsborough-Wade CAC (Virtual)
2025-03-25 19:00 - 21:00
Hi CAC neighbors,
We have an agenda update for our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting this coming Tuesday, March 25 at 7:00 PM. We will meet on Zoom, the link is below.
Our meeting will feature a presentation on AI (Artificial Intelligence). This will be a good opportunity to learn more about AI and how you can use it.
Click on the below image to watch a 4 minute video about AI.
Agenda
• Police report.
• Update from Hillsborough-Street Community Service Corporation.
• Presentation about AI: understanding the basics and “how-tos” plus an overview on AI developments and how they impact us.
• Update on rezoning cases in our CAC. The applicant for rezoning case Z-54-22, which was voted down by City Council two years ago, is restarting the process to bring this case back before City Council. Our District D City Councilor led the effort to deny this rezoning request two years ago. Now the applicant is coming forward with some money for the future Smokey Hollow city park and some money for the City’s affordable housing fund. These incentives don’t change the request for 30 stories where 12 stories is already approved for this Downtown Transition area. If approved will this set a new precedent for other Downtown Transition areas? This rezoning location is just outside the eastern edge of the Hillsborough-Wade CAC and is actually within the Mordecai CAC boundary. However, this case most affects the Glenwood-Brooklyn Neighborhood which is in the Five Points CAC.
Click here to read the opinion of Glenwood-Brooklyn resident Roy Attride.
See you this Tuesday evening,
Mike

Archaeology at Mordecai Historic Park
2025-03-29 13:00 - 15:00 | Mordecai Historic Park, 1 Mimosa St, Raleigh, NC, 27604
Professor John Millhauser, the Director of Anthropology for NCSU, will work backwards in time, starting with how people living in the neighborhood use the park today and moving back through the creation of the park in the 1970s, the establishment of the Mordecai neighborhood, the property during the Civil War, and the founding of Raleigh in the late 18th century. The lecture will close with the lives of Indigenous people who lived here for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. We hope you enjoy this closing lecture of the ‘Digging Deeper’ lectures series.

Learn about the recent excavations at Mordecai Historic Park and what a sample of the objects found reveal about the many people whose lives have intersected here.
We will work backwards in time, starting with how people living in the neighborhood use the park today and moving back through the creation of the park in the 1970s, the people who helped build the Mordecai neighborhood in the first half of the twentieth century; the people who lived on the property before, during, and after the civil war; and the people who founded Raleigh in the late eighteenth century.
We will close with the lives of Indigenous people who lived here for thousands of years before Europeans arrived and bring the story full circle with the emerging connections to descendent communities like the Tuscarora Nation of North Carolina.
