The City of Raleigh is seeking proposals to complete a National Register Nomination for the Biltmore Hills neighborhood, a historically African American neighborhood located in southeast Raleigh, North Carolina.

The project includes the following:

• Complete the National Register nomination forms with a physical description, inventory list, history and contexts, and strong arguments supporting the district's significance and architectural integrity. [The district was added to the North Carolina Study List on June 13, 2024. An initial inventory with survey site numbers, entries into the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) database, and photo documentation of each property in the district have already been completed. All information is available upon request.]
• Update the architectural survey with photography (if needed), verify and update entries in the survey database provided by the HPO.
• Provide relevant streetscape photographs.
• Justify the proposed boundaries.
• Create location and boundary maps to support the nomination.
• Create a 1-page summary of the nomination that could be easily understood by individuals unfamiliar with the National Register process.
• Lead and prepare presentations for two (2) in-person community meetings (project introduction and final project summary) [The City will coordinate and schedule community engagement.]
