PowerUP NC:
Representative Evelyn Terry Host First Ever Town Hall Meeting At The Enterprise Center
After six years of serving her constituents in Raleigh, North Carolina Representative Evelyn Terry hosted her first town hall at The Enterprise Center last night to an engaged, fired-up audience of more than 50 community members.
The April 18th town hall was coordinated as a joint event between PowerUp NC and the S.G. Atkins CDC. PowerUp NC, a program of the NC League of Conservation Voters Foundation, is a multiracial statewide team of community members, organizers, and leaders whose values are rooted in environmental, economic, and racial justice. The PowerUp NC Triad organizers work out of the The Enterprise Center and collaborate with Carol Davis, the Center's Executive Director.
One of the most heated issues raised during the evening's conversation centered on the lack of development in the Waughtown neighborhood. Rep. Terry noted that due to its historic identity, this area should be considered ripe for revitalization.
"What's happening in downtown Winston-Salem could be happening here," reflected Rep. Terry, referring to the ongoing investments in the city proper.
