State Senator Neal Hunt Endorses Dix Deal

As talk heats up about the City of Raleigh’s efforts to buy the 306 acre Dorothea Dix property from the state to convert to a Raleigh version of Central Park, at least one state legislator says he endorses the idea.
In media statements released through the City of Raleigh and other supporters of the Dix Park plan, state Senator Neal Hunt (R-Wake County) has publicly stated that he is in support of the park plan.
“I am proud to support the efforts to preserve the remaining acres on the Dix campus for a destination park and gardens, something that everyone can enjoy for years and years to come,” said Senator Hunt in a statement.
