PETITION TO SAVE 804/806 Jackson St Homes

The petition

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savejacksonsthomes/index.html

Healthy Start Public Education Inc. has publicly expressed intent to demolish two contributing historic structures/homes at 804/806 Jackson St in Morehead Hill State & National Historic District in an effort to expand further into the Morehead Hill Neighborhood. This action is contrary to the positive development in Durham, the intent of establishing the historic district and prevention of encroachment into historically significant areas by commercial enterprise.
By signing this petition you object to this demolition in strong opposition to the action.
