Dorothea Dix Park Master Plan

RHDC has formed an ad hoc committee to follow and assist as the plan is implemented.  RHDC recognizes the City’s immense responsibility as steward of a legacy site of deep historic and cultural significance both to the City of Raleigh, as well as the State of North Carolina. This project, for which authenticity is key, will indeed define Raleigh for generations to follow. RHDC supports the proposed retention of approximately half of the campus’ built environment to serve a variety of new uses while reserving some for future uses. These tangible expressions of Dix’s noble efforts provide an unparalleled opportunity to meet a myriad of community needs that otherwise might not be readily available, all while preserving the physical history of the site and its stories. Read RHDC's January 2019 memo to City Council.  Read the 2018 memo here.
