Here in North Carolina the signs of Spring start right about now - and first thing we do is get our spring sports plans in order.  We are lucky here to have some great activities for the kids that go year round. 

One of our favorites is the Morehead Planetarium.  They have really great day camps all Summer and special events for kids throughout the year. 

As for sports activities, we love the programs that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Y plans year round.  They have basketball, soccer and stickball that take place at different locations around town.  And, of course onsite they have swimming lessons and special events.

This Spring we’ll try Rainbow Soccer for the first time.  We’ve heard great things about it and our oldest son is really looking forward to having practices during the week.  They have a field right at Southern Village which is convenient - and offers a great option of dinner afterwards at one of the great restaurants.

There is a new and very exciting neighborhood under construction in Carrboro - Winmore.  Off Homestead Road and near Bolin Creek, homes are going up with the preservation of green space and good environmental stewardship foremost in the minds of builders and developers.

The mixed-use neighborhood will include town homes and single family homesites with prices ranging from the 300s to the 900s.  Amenities include a swimming pool, playground, trails and a restored farmhouse that is for community use.  Over 40% of Winmore’s 66 acre land parcel is dedicated to green space - it is a wonderful place to live.

Contact Reg Morgan for more information on Winmore - or on any other Chapel Hill - Carrboro neighborhoods.

The University made a formal presentation to the Chapel Hill Town Council last week, outlining the details of Carolina North’s first project - the Innovation Center.  Many spoke out in favor of this project - I want to add my voice to those who support this. 

Chapel Hill has a great opportunity in Carolina North.  From what I have seen in meetings and heard in my discussions with the University, it is going to be a remarkable space.  There has already been considerable work done in keeping greenspace and trails in good condition.  Now this building is the next step and will provide a much needed incubator for start-up companies, keeping jobs and innovations here in Chapel Hill rather then sending them to RTP or out of state.

Plans are moving along for one of the biggest real estate events in our town in decades - the University’s new expansion at Carolina North.  Already the University has done alot of work on the trails around this property to help runners, walkers and hikers.  It is a great place to explore during this nice weather we are having.  

But the biggest news is that plans are moving forward for the first building in this area - the Innovation Center.  Take a look at the site plan here.   Check back with me for more news, and you can also stay up on this by checking the Carolina North website off the UNC homepage.
