Growth & Development
There's been a fair amount of hand-wringing about the president's inability to improve the job market, especially without a cooperative Congress. While the president has little he can do directly, there's one idea that hasn't been considered: cracking down on overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
For 40 years, workers and businesses alike preferred a loose enforcement policy on overtime. Many workers who spend far more than 40 hours a week on the job are insulted at being considered an hourly worker, or a non-professional. There was a greater desire for flexible schedules than for time-and-a-half. The notion of overtime is so quaint that most people have probably forgotten that the laws exist and can be used to protect them against unreasonable demands of management.

Dear Friends and Neighbors:
On Tuesday, November 16, the University will hold a public meeting to explain the permitting process required by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) prior to development at Carolina North. The meeting will take place from 5:15-6:30 p.m. in the large conference room of the Chapel Hill Public Library.
Many of you have followed the planning for Carolina North. On July 1, 2009 the University entered into a Development Agreement with the Town of Chapel Hill that outlines the first 20 years of development at Carolina North.
Another part of the process for development is application to the ACOE for an “Individual Permit”. The ACOE Individual Permit application addresses impacts to streams and wetlands by development at Carolina North. The University held an initial meeting on the ACOE permit in June. On November 16 we will present the draft application for the permit. The University expects to submit a permit application to the ACOE later this year. You can view an electronic version of the draft permit application at http://cn.unc.edu.
This meeting is not part of the ACOE’s permitting requirements but is an opportunity for UNC to share information and to receive comments on the draft application. In addition to University staff, a representative from the ACOE will attend the meeting to explain the permitting process and how the public may participate. Attendees will be invited to ask questions and share comments.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. If your questions pertain to the details of the permit or permitting process, please contact Jill Coleman, Facilities Planning, at jcoleman@fac.unc.edu or 919-843-3246.
If you are a community group or neighborhood representative, please forward this email to your members and others who may be interested.
Best,
Linda

CVS is in the process of buying up properties in downtown Carrboro across from Weaver Street Market to potentially build a 2 story building that would house a retail tenant (presumably CVS) on the 1st floor and office space and/or apartments on the second floor.
Ruby talked a little bit about the new development on the corner of Greensboro and Weaver Street in a previous post. To recap: Weaver Street Market needed money to help pay for debt they have incurred the passed few years and they sold 3 downtown properties to CVS. (See Map) They sold the property on the corner of N. Greensboro and Weaver Street (where WCOM and Community Realty used to be), the parking lot next to that building and 104 Center Street. The house on 104 Center Street is an historic Mill House built around 1910. This house will most likely be torn down in the near future. The developer working for CVS is close to purchasing 203 N Greensboro St (Debra Seaton’s Dental practice) and the hair shop on the corner of Short and Center Street. This would mean CVS will own all but one the property on the block.
