Winmore's Housing Might Not Be Affordable Enough
By Jeff Silver and Jamie Dougher | April 9Some University employees are questioning whether plans to build affordable housing units on a 62-acre tract of land that UNC recently sold to a local developer actually will benefit UNC's lowest-paid employees.
