Carrboro Votes to Annex Two Tracts
By Jamie Dougher and John Russell | September 25The Carrboro Board of Alderman approved Tuesday the voluntary annexation of parts of the Horace Williams tract and its satellite. The board voted 6-0 in favor of the annexation despite opposition voiced by many residents at last Tuesday's board meeting. Alderman John Herrera abstained from the vote. Mayor Mike Nelson said he supports the annexation of the 365 acres of UNC-owned land because it acts in the best interests of the residents he was elected to represent. "While my heart is with them, my head leads me to a different conclusion," he said.
