The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has a
proposal for developing a satellite campus. Named Carolina North, the
satellite campus would cover approximately 250 acres of the Horace Williams
Tract’s 1,000 acres and be built in phases over the next 50 years. The property
lies just to the north of Estes Drive adjacent to Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard.
The Chapel Hill Town Council adopted a resolution on June 25, 2008, that
authorized “the Mayor to appoint Council members to meet with University
representatives over the summer to plan a work session with the full Council
and members of the Board of Trustees in September.” The objective of the
work session was to provide a public educational session designed to better understand
options for guiding development at Carolina North. The work session
occurred on September 25, 2008. That same
resolution of June 25 also authorized the continued joint work of the Town and
University staffs in preparation for the work sessions.
