Pinckney Neighborhood Plan (1978)

The Pinckney Neighborhood Plan (PNP) was last updated in 1978. This document is the City’s planning document for Pinckney Neighborhood. We welcome your thoughts and input in considering an update to the plan to reflect current use, development and potential redevelopment, as well as consideration of Horizon 2020 goals.

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
