Public Input/Information Session
3:00 - 7:00 pm, Wednesday, March 4 * Extraordinary Ventures, 110 Elliott Road, Chapel Hill *
A Public Input/Information Session on Carolina North will be held at Extraordinary Ventures, 110 Elliott Road. Please note that in response to feedback from the public, the times have been modified and the session is now scheduled from 3 pm – 7 pm.
Carolina North is expected to be contained within about 250 acres of the Horace Williams Tract’s 1,000 acres and be built in phases over the next 50 years, as proposed. The property lies just to the north of Estes Drive adjacent to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The Town and the University are now engaged in the preparation of a new zoning district and a Development Agreement for the initial phase of Carolina North, expected to be 133 acres to be developed over approximately 20 years.
This is organized by the Town of Chapel Hill for residents to better understand and participate in the planning process for CN. I can't find an agenda online, but check http://www.townofchapelhill.org/index.asp?NID=1817 or http://www.townofchapelhill.org/carolinanorth

I just heard this announced on WCHL. The Daily Tar Heel web site has the scoop, in spite of being turned out of their office in the Union:
9:45
p.m., SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15 -- The student union, Davis Library and the
Undergraduate Library were evacuated Sunday night due to a bomb threat.
The Daily Tar Heel office was also evacuated. According to witness
reports, police are informing students to stay away from the Pit.
Police came into Davis Library and told Lindy Beyer, assistant night
supervisor, that there was a "credible threat." She announced over the
intercom that library patrons should evacuate, but did not announce the
bomb threat. Beyers said she can not be sure if the library is empty at
this time. The police are currently sweeping the Pit with dogs. We will
continue to update this story as we get new information.
