We have requested Conditional Uses on the rezoning request that prohibit commercial heavy truck usage on the land across US70. We have also requested vegetative buffers along US70. This is the perfect opportunity for Umstead and the RDU Airport to work together. We can use these funds to help provide RDU with funds and purchase the critical Odd Fellows Tract from the RDU Airport. ================ 2019 Walk/Run/Bike for Umstead Saturday, April 13, 2019 Mark your calendars! 4-Mile Race Results are posted: You will LOVE the fabric. 50% cotton, 50% polyester, and very soft! 2018 T-shirt features the photos of mushroom taken by Geoff Balme within 300 feet of the Park Visitor Center!
