A public hearing regarding a proposed second hotel in downtown Carrboro will be held Tuesday night.

The Board of Aldermen held the first meeting to explore the possibility of allowing Hilton to build a five story hotel at 300 East Main Street last month.

Many local businesses spoke at the meeting in favor of adding a second hotel to the area.

One of the major issues over the proposal is finding a parking solution for the additional vehicles associated with the hotel.

The board will meet at 7:30 Tuesday night to continue the public hearing that was started in late February.

Because Carrboro Town Hall is an early voting site in Orange County, the meeting is being held in the OWASA community room at 400 Jones Ferry Road.

Due to the meeting being moved, there will be no live video of the meeting for residents who typically watch from home, but the video will still be archived on the town’s website, according to officials.
