Downtown Visionaries recognized for longtime leadership in revitalization
Two men who have been champions of downtown Fayetteville were honored as visionaries at a luncheon Wednesday at Segra Stadium. Menno Pennink and the late Harry Shaw received the 2022 CityView Downtown Visionaries awards.
‘We can work together’
Amid the fragrance of mountain laurel and honeysuckle, Harry Shaw leaned along the railing of the Crescent Overlook and saw in his mind’s eye those summer days of yesteryear, when he splashed in the gentle waters below what is now Cross Creek Linear Park not far from his childhood home on Hawley Lane.
