Date:
Monday, September 10, 2012 - 5:30pm to 7:00pm
Location:
Council Chamber, Chapel Hill Town Hall
A public information meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10, to receive comments and feedback on the UNC-Chapel Hill Carolina North Annual Report to the Town of Chapel Hill. The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber of Town Hall, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Carolina North is envisioned as a mixed-use academic campus on university-owned property along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, two miles north of the main campus. University and Town representatives signed a development agreement in 2009 that covers the first 20 years of development on the site. The agreement contains guidelines and standards for the development of the first 3 million square feet of a mixed-use research and academic campus on 133 acres.
The annual report lets the Town and public know what development activities have occurred on the Carolina North site in the past year and the ways in which the University is complying with the terms of the development agreement. The report is part of the structure established by the agreement for providing continued town-gown communication. The report will be posted online at http://www.townofchapelhill.org/carolinanorth
Town Manager Roger Stancil will review the report and the public input before reporting on Sept. 24 to the Town Council on his review of the development agreement and its requirements.
Public input is welcome. Send comments about the annual report or other issues related to Carolina North at any time to carolinanorth@townofchapelhill.org or write Town of Chapel Hill Planning Department, Carolina North, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Chapel Hill, NC 27514.

Annual report
So the announcement above saud the annual report would be posted at http://www.townofchapelhill.org/carolinanorth before the meeting. It took some squinting but I found this link to the report: http://www.townofchapelhill.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=15414 which is dated September 1, 2012.Has anyone read it and/or are you planning to go to the information meeting tonight? I doubt I'll get a chance to do either at this point. (My own fault for not planning ahead.)
