Historic Yates Mill County Park

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

The Southwest CAC is home to two related historic and natural resources that are unique in the city of Raleigh.  Yates Mill, which definitely dates from around 1810 to 1820, but is thought to have structural elements dating to the mid-1750s, is located on Steep Hill Creek at the intersection of Lake Wheeler and Penny roads.  The mill and its adjacent millpond and stone dam are designated Raleigh Historic Landmarks and are also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.  Of the known 18th-century grist mills in the Raleigh area, only Yates Mill survives.

Have you completed your 2010 census?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I just completed my 2010 census form for our household. It was pretty easy. A few check boxes, names, and birth dates and it was back in the prepaid envelope, then the mail. Completing the census is important to Raleigh, it will determine how much, Raleigh and North Carolina will be eligible for “$487 billion in federal funds annually distributed for essentials such as hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, transportation and public utility infrastructure and emergency services.”

With the growth in NC over the last decade, it could mean an increase in the number of seats our state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives. Have you filled yours out yet? If not, you should complete it by National Census Day, April 1, 2010.
