Abstract:
Chatham Park is a development project for eastern Chatham County and is intended to be a mix-use project. In June the Pittsboro Board of Commissioners voted 4 to 1 to approve the park. The project, which at 7,500 acres, is thought to be the largest development plan in the state's history, has not been without opposition. When completed, the population of Pittsboro will rise from a current 4,000 to 60,000 by 2050.
