WakeUP Wake County to Hold First Meeting

A citizen's group calling for better growth planning in the Raleigh area will hold its first general membership meeting on Saturday, Sept. 16. WakeUP Wake County was formed earlier this year by local taxpayers concerned about how area communities are paying for and managing growth.

The meeting will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at the West Raleigh Presbyterian Church on the corner of Horne and Vanderbilt streets, one block north of Hillsborough. To enter the church's fellowship hall, look for a side entrance in the alley off Horne.
