Rogers  Road  residents  are  excited  about  the  new  development,  hoping  it  will  help   <br />with  affordable  housing  in  the  area.   <br />   <br />“It’s  been  a  long  time  coming,”  Peppers  said.  “It  should’ve  been  their  first  priority.”   <br />Johnson  said  the  Town  of  Carrboro  plans  to  construct  sidewalks  in  the   <br />neighborhood  sometime  in  the  coming  year.   <br />   <br />While  the  Rogers  Road  community  has  struggled  with  the  burden  of  the  closed   <br />landfill,  RENA  still  prioritizes  unity  and  social  justice  for  all.   <br />   <br />RENA  leaders  plan  to  be  involved  in  community  development  changes  in  the  years   <br />to  come  and  residents  like  Campbell,  Caldwell  and  Peppers  refuse  to  be  left  in  the   <br />dark  again.   <br />   <br />“It  takes  collaboration  and  participation  for  change  to  occur,”  Campbell  said.   <br />“We’re  not  saying  we  don’t  want  development  to  come,  but  we  want  to  control  what   <br />the  development  will  look  like.”   <br />   <br />http://southernneighbor.com/2017/05/more-­‐than-­‐a-­‐history   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />   <br />
