Rascal

Something I find interesting: The land Centennial Campus sits on (about one square mile) used to be part of the Dix property. Gov Hunt gave it to the university as a land grant in the '80s. I know that's essentially transferring land from one branch of state government to another, but is the division between city and state so large that Raleigh should pay $40M+? If both levels of government are really trying to best serve the public interest, should the financial burden fall on local government, which typically has a very constrained budget? I know a land grant to the City is way too much to hope for, but it's sad to see money as the driving force for Dix's future.
