Abstract:

140 West is a mixed-purpose construction project in the heart of Chapel Hill, located on the corner of West Franklin and Church streets. Developers anticipate that construction of this eight story retail/residential building will be complete by 2013. The development sparks mixed emotion; supporters see progress in the face of economic depression while skeptics anticipate bankruptcy.

Abstract:

Chapel Hill’s anti-growth attitude has made life for developers difficult; politics and ordinances cause developers to pay exorbitant fees for their projects. Chapel Hill allows this because it is ultimately worried the poor and middle class will be priced out of the city should unchecked development take place.

Abstract:

The community of Chapel Hill is changing as it develops and becomes a more desirable place to live. As a result, the cost-of-living is making the town unaffordable for its traditional residents and the town’s ideology is being challenged by its newer residents. Additional problems facing the town are increasing crime, homelessness, and taxes.

Abstract:

The controversial Greenbridge project has been built and Northside residents are now wondering what else will change in the Chapel Hill neighborhood. The project’s partners, neighbors, and area activists all believe the condominium complex symbolizes something different. The neighborhood was once considered an “enclave” for black residents. Now, many believe the complex will spur growth and economic development, but it may push out some of the neighborhoods traditional residents who cannot afford to keep living there.
