Growth & Development
The Chapel Hill 2020 team invites the public to “Future Focus,” work
sessions scheduled Feb. 15-16 at the UNC-Chapel Hill Friday Center to
explore ideas about growth, change and visualizing our community in
2020.
The input and results of the work sessions will be incorporated
into the ongoing Chapel Hill 2020 planning process. Chapel Hill 2020 is
the community-wide effort to create a new comprehensive plan. The Chapel
Hill visioning process is open to all residents – and others who live,
work, play, study and invest in Chapel Hill.
The February special event will include facilitated roundtables focused on areas of potential growth.
Participants will look to the ongoing Chapel Hill 2020 conversations for ideas about potential types of change.
Participants will explore the fiscal trade-offs for the scenarios.
There will be opportunities for the community to comparee scenarios and
identify preferences.
The work sessions and analysis will be led by Seven Hills Town Planning Group Inc. and Urban Collage.
“Future Focus” community modeling and visualization sessions:
- Wednesday Session: The work session from 6
to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, will be held in Trillium A of the Friday
Center. The session will include an overview of current conditions in
the community, a discussion about growth areas and a focused exploration
of the future vision for downtown. Participants can expect to learn and
share their vision for where change could happen and what change might
look like in Chapel Hill.
- Thursday Sessions: Two identical work
sessions will be offered on Thursday, Feb. 16, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30
p.m. and again from 6 to 8 p.m., both in Trillium A of the Friday
Center. These sessions will be facilitated “roundtables” focused on
areas of potential growth. Participants will evaluate growth areas,
using several scenarios as a starting point, and propose their ideas
about potential types of change. The scenarios will include financial
information, current conditions and potential changes based on the
Chapel Hill 2020 process.
Participants’ input will be collected and analyzed after the work
session and the results will be shared at the Chapel Hill 2020 meeting
scheduled for 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, at Estes Hills
Elementary School.
The community will have an opportunity to consider the analysis
of the work session results, including fiscal trade-offs. They will
compare new scenarios, identify preferences and make recommendations to
the 2020 process. After the Feb. 23 meeting, information will continue
to be available for review and reaction to the work session materials.

This Wednesday, the Chapel Hill Town Council will be
holding a public hearing on the proposed Shortbread development- a seven-story mixed-use building across from Breadman’s on Rosemary Street. The residential component of the building will be rental units that will cater to students- a much-needed addition to downtown that will help alleviate pressure on the adjacent Northside neighborhood.
