NOTE: The featured image in this post is a rendering of a potential development example for downtown Carrboro, including a mixed-use development along a greenway. It does not reflect any currently approved plans.

The Town of Carrboro is currently seeking public feedback on its Downtown Area Plan (DAP). The community-driven project seeks to both revitalize the commercial district and guide future downtown developments.

Seeking to create a vibrant and inclusive downtown Carrboro, the DAP focuses on providing mixed-use sites, infrastructure for multimodal travel, and public greenspaces. The project is part of the Carrboro Connects Comprehensive Plan, a strategy outlining the town’s goals through 2042. 

Public engagement efforts for the project began last year, where people reported wanting more spaces for outdoor gathering and for affordable housing and business throughout downtown, according to a release. 

The Town Council hosted a work session to review the draft in May, but in an interview with 97.9 The Hill, Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee explained what needs to happen before a final version goes to the council for adoption. 

“We did get that draft presented to the town council in the spring of this year by our consultant, but what we also realized was that we need more community outreach. We want to hear more from the public.”
