Chapel Hill residents will welcome a temporary public library spot and offer feedback on goals to guide the town’s future on Saturday at Chapel Hill 2020’s open house.
The event will take place at University Mall and will also include children’s activities.
Chapel Hill 2020 is a community project that aims to create a plan for the town’s development for the next 10 years.
Rosemary Waldorf, plan co-chairwoman, said the project’s mission draft will be written down and displayed for the community to view at the event. The event will also give residents a chance to give input on the themes the plan will focus on.
Those themes address ideas like town and University relationships, regional relationships, transportation, resident engagement, downtown development and cultural and artistic vibrancy.
Waldorf said community feedback will shape the plan’s ultimate goals.
“It’s an opportunity for everyone to vote and make comment,” Waldorf said. “We’re not targeting anyone in particular.”
Attendees will have the opportunity to review the mission draft and to take a survey that will be considered during the draft’s development.
The children’s activities will include storytelling and an art project with a focus on sustainability.
