Hurley convened a meeting of a slew of
representatives from various areas of
leadership throughout the city. e meetings
of the Fayetteville Area Communication Team
took place at Highland Presbyterian Church.
"ere were about a hundred chairs
arranged in a circle," Malzone said. "ere
was no agenda no food, just everyone
sitting around and talking. Bill believed in
communication. It was very effective."

reminders of Hurley's success. In 2019, the

monument to Hurley, who also served in the
N.C. House of Representatives before retiring
from politics in 2002.

long dreamed of a stadium like Segra being
built in Fayetteville. Sandy Hurley said she'd
always hoped her husband would be able to
throw out the first pitch.

has the best seat in the house now.
