What is the Civic Assembly?
We’ve brought together a mix of Raleigh residents—chosen by lottery—to reflect the full range of people across the city. Selected participants meet to learn, discuss, and make recommendations on the following questions:
Why it matters
In 2009, Raleigh made a plan to guide how the city should grow. The goal was to have 60% of new development in certain easy-to-access places that could support more homes and businesses, and along corridors with strong existing or planned bus service. Since then, about 70% of new growth has happened in those areas. Now, as we plan for the year 2050, we want your help to decide how these neighborhoods should grow.
