Raleigh needs an attraction!

Sounds like the Falls of the Neuse whitewater park is completely separate. But it is interesting timing with the RDU Lake Crabtree land popping up in the news again…

First I want to say I hate RDU developing the Lake Crabtree land - especially for the inevitable 1 story warehouse buildings, empty mid-rise office buildings, and surface parking.

Buuuut, if they could consolidate development into a dense node around a whitewater center at the west end and leave the rest of the park and trails alone, I feel like that could be a compromise and would provide an amenity that the region would actually care about?
