The plans for Carolina North are starting to take shape.   A series of community meetings ended last week, with more concrete information from the University about the plans taking shape there.   After the last meeting a final document was posted to the website that, while lengthy, contains  some valuable  information on plans that are taking shape.  

Many issues are still up in the air — pardon the pun!   The Horace Williams airport, which the University’s Board of Trustees would like to close, is still facing opposition and that plan has  still not yet been confirmed.   The state legislature is still in discussions and hearings on this.  Among the issues are the future of AHEC and the concerns of area pilots.

This is a great weekend to have fun in Chapel Hill!  After I show some clients some great condos in Southern Village, I’ll be taking the boys to see Carolina take on Penn State at Boshamer Field.  Baseball game time is at 1pm, and today all kids get to take the field for the national anthem!

Tomorrow the baseball team plays again at 1pm, but the big story will be at the Smith Center.  Duke vs. Carolina!   This is always the biggest game of the year and the last of the regular season for the Heels.  The ACC tournament starts on Thursday down in Tampa - a big win over the Blue Devils will send them off in style.  And, if you go to the baseball game first you’ll be entered for a chance to win tickets to the basketball game!
