It's Been a Busy Summer!

Hello, Knightdale! I hope you’re staying cool in the blistering summer heat! There’s so much going on this summer, and I wanted to give you a quick snapshot of some of the highlights and happenings.

Knightdale Celebrates the 4th of July!

After a two-year hiatus, Knightdale brought back its Fourth on First event at Knightdale Station Park–and what a celebration it was! While it was SO HOT, everyone enjoyed the festivities with food trucks, inflatables, and the beach sounds of The Embers! We capped the night off with a grand display of fireworks, and it was the perfect end to a beautiful summer day.

Thank you to Knightdale Parks and Recreation, our police department, and everyone else who made our Independence Day celebration a success! Check out a highlight video of our Fourth on First event below!

Knightdale Signs On With

Wake County's

Non-Discrimination Ordinance

If you didn’t know, Knightdale adopted Wake County’s non-discrimination ordinance earlier this year. This ordinance protects Knightdale citizens from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and natural hairstyles, specifically in the workplace and public areas like restaurants and stores. 

The Town Council and I felt it important to protect citizens’ rights by securing a system of accountability for any violations of those rights. This supports Knightdale’s commitment to connection and inclusivity, as stated in our town’s Strategic Plan.

Wake County Collaborators Convene

in Salt Lake City

I got an opportunity to join the Raleigh Chamber and attend their Inter-city Visit Leadership Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. We went to learn from other cities how they’re solving issues within their municipalities, and hopefully get some insight that could help our cities and towns to do the same.

I loved being able to connect with other members of Wake County, including the mayor of Raleigh, partners from Wake Tech, Cary’s town manager, and so many more. We toured Salt Lake City and started having some real conversations about how we can better our own areas, but we also discussed ways we could collaborate to make Wake County better and stronger as a collective. 

I enjoyed the networking between the Wake County entities, and I’m excited about the minds coming together to help find solutions to issues we’re all facing. We’re all determined to make Wake County, an already great place to live, even better. Stay tuned for more conversations rooted from this amazing trip!
