About Raleigh


Our Mission: (updated June 2008)

  • We are a 21st Century city of innovation focusing an environmental, cultural and economic sustainability.
  • We conserve and protect our environmental resources through best practices and cutting edge conservation and stewardship, land-use, infrastructure and building technologies.
  • We welcome growth and diversity through policies and programs that will protect, preserve and enhance Raleigh’s existing neighborhoods, natural amenities, rich history, and cultural and human resources for future generations.
  • We work with our universities, colleges, citizens and regional partners to promote emerging technologies, create new job opportunities and cultivate local businesses and entrepreneurs.
  • We recruit and train a 21st century staff with the knowledge and skill sets to carry out this mission, through transparent civic engagement and providing the very best customer service to our current citizens in the most efficient and cost effective manner.

 

Take a look at just about any “Best Places to…” list and you will see Raleigh ranked among the top.  Taking advantage of all of its advantages, Raleigh has become a model of the good life in 21st century America and an exciting venue for exploring the possibilities of even greater things to come. "Raleigh is a great place to raise a family."

And its advantages are legion – natural, historic and very, very modern.
