Carolina North

What is the development agreement? 

The development agreement was signed in June 2009.  It is a contract between UNC and the Town of Chapel Hill which includes specific limitations and detailed conditions of approval that protect the Town’s interests, while also offering certainty to the University regarding what type of development can occur.  For a summary of how key neighborhood issues are handled in the Development Agreement, download NRG's Report to Residents: Key Points in the Carolina North Development Agreement.
