Inscription. This plaque recognizes RDL for initiating interest in the revitalization of Downtown Lumberton. The passion, commitment, and leadership of this group of volunteer citizens resulted in a performance stage and metal sculpture on the Plaza, a building mural, a whisper bench on the river, planters, wayfinding signs, and benches. Most importantly, RDL planted the seed that has grown into ongoing improvements to Downtown Lumberton.

Erected 2021.
