Smedes York knows a thing or two about being part of a family business. His grandfather, C.V. York started The York and Cobb Construction Company in 1910, and his father, J. Willie York, developed Raleigh's Cameron Village. But his involvement in the community extends far beyond the multi-generation family construction business. He has established a long record of civic involvement that includes serving as Raleigh’s mayor from 1979 to 1983. Smedes York joins host Frank Stasio to discuss the family business and how the Yorks have shaped Raleigh's development.
