Dunleith Future Plan Discussion

Dear Neighbors, 

We have reached a very interesting point in the history of our neighborhood, and it is now time for us all to come together and discuss the possible future that lies ahead of us.  After many years of protest, planning, organizing, more planning, discussion, and even more planning, we are at a pivotal point, where all of those past efforts may pay off.

Recently, Bert VanderVeen and I had lunch with the Dascalakis Family (who owns the Dunleith property on Chestnut St), the City of Greensboro, Piedmont Community Design Forum (PCDF) and Urban Harvest.
 
The Dascalakis family is interested in seeing one of the designs that emerged from last year’s charette actually come into being.

 To continue to remain as key players in the future of the Dunleith site, the neighborhood needs to first agree on which of the five plans that PCDF/DPZ sketched out at the Charette we would like to move forward with, keeping in mind that the 700 or so feet between the railroad tracks and the proposed development will be targeted for the working Urban Farm, which will be a key feature of the development.

 So, for the next month, we need to express our questions and concerns, and voice our opinions about the options that lie before us.  We hope to hear from every single person, either online via the list-serv, or by phone (feel free to call me, Brian Heagney, at 336-392-0868).

So, let the discussion begin!
