Chapel Hill 2020 Community Meeting this Thursday

Posted Date: 12/8/2011

Laughing ChildrenThe Chapel Hill 2020 community planning process continues on Thursday, Dec. 15, from 7 to 9 p.m. at East Chapel Hill High School, 500 Weaver Dairy Road. The meeting will be held in the school cafeteria.

All are welcomed, including first-time participants. Those who come will have a chance to get caught up on the discussions to date, learn about the overall process, and discuss goals in the theme groups. The outcome of this process will be a 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.

This meeting will be a "reporting out" meeting when the theme groups will share the ideas they developed on Dec. 1. To view their notes to date, see http://www.townofchapelhill.org/index.aspx?page=1773 In addition, a brief presentation will be made about priority budgeting by Ken Pennoyer, business management services director for the Town of Chapel Hill. Particpants will also have a chance to share new information on the draft goals (posted on the Meetings and Materials page). This information will be collected and brought to the next meeting. The following themes were developed from the community's input:

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 next meeting of Chapel Hill 2020 will be held on Thursday, Jan. 12, at Glenwood Elementary School, 2 Prestwick Road. This meeting will be a working session.

If you don't speak English contact the Chapel Hill 2020 team (see information below) a week before the meeting. 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 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.
