RCAC Friends,
First I need to thank you for the for wonderful honor of the RCAC 2012
Citizen Award. It was a surprise, it means a lot and I am grateful to the
leaders of the RCAC for our many years working together. In continuing the
quest to live up to that honor ;-), I send the following request.
Several years back the RCAC adopted a Resolution to support creating a Park
on the remaining 306 acres of remaining Dorothea Dix Property. Our City
Council has been trying to make this happen for many years (please thank
them). Unfortunately all mental health services have ceased and now the
question before our elected leaders is simply:
Create a Central Park for NC or Sell the land for development è and the time
for action is now.
The Council of State members will make the decision to lease the land to the
City of Raleigh to become a Park this coming Tuesday and they need hear from
you that we support the Park.
This is the one decision that I believe will shape the future of NC for
generations to come
Imagine NY without Central Park now try to imagine NC with one.
I think that this issue will be of immense interest for our neighborhoods so
I ask that you please post to your lists as appropriate.
Also if you are advocates for the Park personally please forward this email
to friends, ask folks to post this on their Facebook page, etc.
The decision will be made in 5 days and the decision with impact the future
of NC for centuries and our citizens need to be heard.
306 thanks! to everyone and especially thanks for all that you do for the
City of Raleigh!
