York broker Robert Hoyt and Marketing Specialist Victoria Eaton were in attendance, celebrating all the incredible progress shaping our city’s future. Robert serves as Board Member + Economic Development Co-Chair for the West Raleigh Alliance. Victoria serves as Board President of the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation.
The program featured a Raleigh Influencer Panel with four local content creators who underscored the vital role of digital storytelling in connecting businesses and developments with the community.
Key insights from the meeting:
• Nearly 30 completed projects since 2020, reflecting West Raleigh & Hillsborough Street’s rapid expansion.
• Over $842M in total investments across completed, proposed, and under-construction projects.
