Visioning
Forums
The Town of Chapel Hill visioning project is
designed to engage the Chapel Hill community through a range of outreach
efforts to both inform and gather public comment on community values and
future growth.
The information will assist the Sustainable
Community Visioning Task Force, a group of volunteer citizens appointed by
the Town Council to prepare recommendations on what growth should look like
over the next 10 years.
The visioning forums are just one of a number of
ways that the Sustainable Community Visioning Task Force will be obtaining
information about the community over the next 7 months.
As part of this initial outreach, Chapel Hill
residents are invited to attend community forums, draw on visioning walls, and
participate in online surveys as part of "Chapel Hill 2020," a
community visioning project scheduled June 1-7.

Let me see if I've got this straight: Real estate developers want more say over real estate development?
The council is planning a 12-member committee with two Planning Board
members, one Transportation Board member, one Sustainability Committee
member, one Justice-in-Action Committee member, one business community
representative and five citizens at-large. The petitioners, many of
whom work in real-estate related fields, want to add six more members
to represent: small businesses, downtown businesses, development
professionals, large businesses, UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC Healthcare.
