The Town of Chapel Hill is making progress on developing the 828 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard site. The Town Council recently heard an update on the effort to remediate the coal ash located on the property, as well as potential uses for the location.

The June 11 meeting focused on the town’s public engagement initiative, which Community Sustainability Manager John Richardson said surveyed Chapel Hill residents about what they want for the future of the site. 

“This is not meant to be scientifically significant,” Richardson said. “Instead our goal has been to engage our community in a variety of places, particularly those close to the site, and to gather feedback and themes about what’s most important to our community.”

The initiative follows the town’s adoption of the Brownfields Agreement. Signed in March, the document outlines potential development uses and the minimum remediation measures for each option, and it also prohibits housing, care centers, and schools. 

In terms of potential uses, popular survey responses included recreation courts, a transit station, and parking to support those uses and the neighboring Bolin Creek Trail. For remediation, Richardson said those surveyed expressed interest in “capping” the coal ash underground by other materials or taking removed coal ash to the least impacted landfill.
