WRAL News - Raleigh City Council passes rezoning proposal for Downtown South
During a specially-called meeting on Tuesday, the Raleigh City Council passed a rezoning proposal for the proposed Downtown South development in south Raleigh.
Developers say the $2 billion project would bring jobs, amenities, businesses and a sports and entertainment stadium to the area.
Community members for and against Downtown South's rezoning proposal expressed excitement and concern during Tuesday's meeting.
"This part of town needs a grocery store, needs a pharmacy, it needs parks and amenities that would come with the projects like this," said Jennifer Truman.
