Wendell News Outlet

May 16, 2007

The old adage about not “re-inventing the wheel” proved true once again. While searching the Internet for information about Housing Density as part of my committee assignment, I came across the Triangle Community Coalition. This web site, which is very sophisticated indeed, had an in-depth article about the very issues I was looking for.

While perusing their web site it occurred to me that, perhaps the Wendell Community Coalition should reach out to the Triangle Community Coalition and see what we could learn from their experiences. The following excerpt taken from their web site sounds like they are on the same course as us, only a giant step ahead. Maybe we could use them to play catch up.

"The Triangle Community Coalition is a 501(c) 4 non-profit, non-partisan organization whose mission is to promote public policy that encourages a balance among economic growth, development, the environment, and community needs while protecting the rights and interests of property owners."
