Raleigh city planning officials will unveil the first draft of their new comprehensive plan this Wednesday evening at (where else?) the downtown convention center. The event is open to the public (details here).
Several news outlets have picked up the story, among them The News & Observer of Raleigh (headline: “Raleigh plan picks areas to pack growth”), ABC 11 (headline: “Raleigh puts brakes on urban sprawl”), and WRAL-TV (headline: “Raleigh officials unveil growth plan”).
Each story could be a Planning Department press release. No attempt to provide a balanced perspective or ask tough questions (e.g., where does city government get the right to restrict citizens’ freedom like this?).
Carolina Journal covered the issue of Raleigh city planning in February.
