Graylyn

We do not have anything of substance to report on Graylyn but wanted you to be aware of actions taken.

On 5/13/09, Paul received word from Don Reuter, asst director of NC Parks, that pressing budget issues have further delayed the Graylyn alternatives. We subsequently e-mailed Rep. Weiss to see if she could help as she had been very helpful thus far. We expressed concerns about the lack of progresson this issue. We noted we were cognizant of the budget issues but were questioning whether everything possible was being done toward resolution and asked for consideration of the less costly options that were previously suggested to NC Parks. Rep Weiss stated she would check with DENR and recontact us when she had additional information. We recontacted her 6/23 for status and were told she had contacted DENR for followup. She recontacted us 6/26 to let us know she hoped to meet with DENR soon.

We will post as soon as we hear. Again, we encourage everyone to feel free to contact Rep. Weiss, other city and state representatives and the folks at NC Parks to let them know this issue is still of great importance.
