Carrboro is inviting resident feedback once again on the 203 Project set for downtown during a public input session scheduled for Monday night.
The new building planned for 203 South Greensboro Street will be home to the southern branch of the Orange County Library, some town administrative offices and several local non-profits.
Mayor Lydia Lavelle said a wide range of individuals joined the town staff for the first public input session last month.
“For many of the folks in the room, who have kept up with the process, they were really excited to dig down into some details of what they wanted to see,” Lavelle said. “But there were several folks in the room who weren’t even aware, for example, of who all the partners were that are going to be in there.”
Lavelle said residents weighed in about the general aesthetic of the proposal, what will be included in the project and expressed concerns about parking. The space is currently a surface-level parking lot.
That feedback will be incorporated into Monday night’s and future public information meetings on the project.
“I think these next couple of sessions will take some of the feedback from that [first] session,” Lavelle said, “and maybe get more down on the ground of, ‘Now, this might be how we have things look or how we have things face.’”
Monday night’s public input session has been moved to Carrboro Century Center after a large turnout to the first meeting at Town Hall. The session is scheduled to run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday. A third session is scheduled for August 4.
If you are unable to attend the public information session, you can submit feedback online here.
