Nonprofit organization CASA is bringing a new affordable housing development to the area straddling the line between Carrboro and Chapel Hill. The new development will create 48 one- and two-bedroom apartments, with rent prices ranging from $350 to $950 a month.
The Carrboro Linear Parks project is an initiative that aims to connect the north and south ends of Carrboro through greenways and parks. The project was spearheaded by NEXT, a local nonprofit that advocates for equity, diversity and affordability in the area.
The project serves as the town's response to concerns about cyclist and pedestrian safety in the wake of a series of accidents. Precautions like speed bumps, high-visibility crosswalks and speed signs look to minimize these occurrences.
