Proposal goes before city council to rezone the area between Third and Fifth Streets east of U.S. 52 Walt Unks
A unanimous rezoning vote on the Winston-Salem City Council Monday night cleared the way for a major redevelopment project in East Winston that is expected to bring 325 new housing units east of U.S. 52 near the downtown Innovation Quarter.
