Stone's Warehouse Survey Results For
two weeks in December, downtown residents ran an online survey in order
to gather feedback about the proposals for the block at 500 East Davie
Street, the location of the historic Stone's Warehouse. Proposals included a mix of elements including a grocery store, new residential, and museum. We
collected 318 responses and the responses show resounding support for
the proposal by Transfer Company LLC. Their proposal is for a
neighborhood grocery store and cafe, space for small producers, a
community hall, and 16 townhomes. In addition to renovating the
warehouse a new building would be constructed for additional food and
drink business on the site. The
community feedback has been very supportive and open. The results also
align with the recommendations made by the city's Budget and Econonmic
Development Committee and Raleigh city staff. Read the results in the PDF linked below. |
