Chapel Hill charts its future through 2049 with community input

Chapel Hill 2020 is a plan approved by Chapel Hill Town Council in 2012 that plans to shape the vision and growth of the town. The plan is a reflection of values and visions that imagine an accessible, affordable and sustainable place to live. It asserts the importance of the community’s natural resources as well as the value of a vibrant downtown area and active neighborhoods.

The five “Big Ideas” of the plan involve increasing bike-ability and walkability, increasing enterprise on Rosemary Street, emphasizing Chapel Hill as a recreational destination, increasing the ratio of workforce housing and establishing community and neighborhood support. The plan is to have all of these goals accomplished by 2020.
