The next meeting of the community planning process will be Saturday morning, Nov. 19, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Chapel Hill High School, 1708 High School Road. The meeting will be held in the school cafeteria.
The community is welcome. Including first-time participants. Those who attend will have a chance to get caught up on the discussions to date, learn about the overall process, and hear the "report out" on ideas that were shared within theme groups. Participants will help develop the new comprehensive plan that will guide the town's future.
Child care for children ages three and older is available, thanks to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA Teen Leaders' Club. If you don't speak English contact the Chapel Hill 2020 team (see information below) a week before the meeting you would like to attend. We will do our best to help you to participate! Si Ud. no habla inglés, favor de comunicarse con nosotros una semana antes de la reunión que Ud. quisiera asistir. ¡Haremos lo posible para ayudarle a participar!
The following draft themes were developed from the community's input then discussed on October 27th. Tonight, participants will hear reports of those discussions and help guide the process to identify goals and actions for the plan: - Good places and new spaces: Downtown & Development (special places, downtown district, housing, development, protecting existing assets, neighborhoods)
- Town & Gown: Learning and innovation (a center of medicine and health care, life-long learning, using intellectual/financial capital, re-thinking the status quo)
- Getting Around: Transportation: (transportation of all forms, regional assets, partnerships, potential for shared success)
- Community prosperity and engagement: Fiscal Sustainability and public safety, (affordability, economic development, tourism, neighborhoods, services delivery)
- A Place for Everyone: diversity, cultural vibrancy, & the arts (youth, teens, safe places, a welcoming community, arts, creativity, celebrations, special events, inclusion)
- Nurturing our community: environmental sustainability: (our natural environment, open spaces, solid waste, recycling, parks, greenways, rural buffer)
No matter which theme you're interested in, you can participate in all meetings. At the working sessions, the theme groups meet simultaneously to develop their parts of the plan (goals, strategies, actions). At the reporting out meetings, the groups share their findings and identify any areas for discussion and synthesis.
The 2020 Outreach Committee says, "We can come to you!" The public outreach, surveys and other comments will be brought to each meeting. If you can't join the meetings, please participate online or by hosting a group discussion. Throughout the process, outreach and community meetings will be equally important in creating one plan for Chapel Hill.
