The future Hillsborough Station is currently set to be completed in 2027, but the town might have to wait a little longer before it comes into fruition. The Orange County Board of Commissioners recently met with the Town of Hillsborough to hear the latest updates.

The town first prepared a concept plan for the project in 2016, later contracting Clearscapes to lead the design team in 2022. Along with parking and EV charging stations, the facility would also allow for multimodal transportation to Hillsborough’s downtown by way of the Ridgewalk Greenway. The station’s construction is set to be completed in February 2027, but Trueblood said that date will likely be extended.

Although Hillsborough approved the site plan in August, the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) and Northfolk Southern (NS) cannot review it until the town executes a preliminary engineering agreement. However, Trueblood explained how there cannot be a PE agreement until indemnification and insurance terms are developed and approved.

“We are third in line for that. There’s sort of an unspoken rule that Northfolk Southern reviews one set of plans at a time in North Carolina. So Kannapolis and Salisbury are just ahead of us. They are currently negotiating their terms with the railroad. And I think they’re getting close to an agreement.”
