About NRG

Neighborhoods for Responsible Growth (NRG) is a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving our quality of life in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Orange County, and vicinity. By working constructively with neighbors, elected officials, UNC, and all other members of our community, NRG aims to ensure that our environment and the well-being of our fellow residents are respected. 

NRG believes that our region can grow without losing its unique character. 

NRG is dedicated to:

• Providing a communication network so that neighborhoods can support each other 
• Keeping citizens informed about plans for upcoming developments
• Encouraging full community input for issues before local governments 
• Promoting protection of our air and water quality 
• Working to see that our growth matches our resources - that we provide for adequate sewer, water, transportation, and classroom space for now and the future.
