On behalf of the entire RHA team, we extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for the recent transformation event celebrating the future of Heritage Park!

Thank you to our speakers: RHA CEO Ashley Lommers-Johnson, RHA Board Chair Eric Braun, Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell, Marchell Adams-David, Don Mial, Morgan Mansa and our development team representatives, Clarence Mann with Raleigh Raised and Todd Lieberman with Brinshore Development, LLC.

Your presence, thoughtful remarks and shared appreciation for Heritage Park highlighted that this development is more than a construction project. It’s an investment in housing stability, opportunity, and the long-term vitality of our community. We were also proud to honor the rich history of the Fourth Ward, ensuring its legacy continues as this new chapter begins.

Progress like this happens because of collaboration and shared commitment. We deeply appreciate continued support in expanding access to quality, affordable housing.
