Date: September 4, 2018 <br />To: Board of Orange County Commissioners <br /> <br />From: Jeff Thompson, Director, Asset Management Services <br /> Lucinda Munger, Orange County Library Director <br /> <br />Subject: 203 S. Greensboro Capital Project Update (we are calling it “The 203 Project”) <br />cc: Bonnie Hammersley, County Manager <br /> David Andrews, Carrboro Town Manager <br /> Patricia McGuire, Carrboro Planning Director <br /> <br />Throughout the summer, Perkins + Will, the project architect, has conducted several public input <br />sessions on the vision and programming for the 203 Project. A joint stakeholder group consisting of <br />staff members of Carrboro, Orange County, and The ArtsCenter have also met regularly with Perkins + <br />Will to process this input, develop shared spaces within the overall building program, examine cost- <br />benefit relationships with this work (as well as to examine budget factors), and to review site and space <br />planning options that can be mutually supported. <br /> <br />The work is moving forward collaboratively as contemplated in the project Development Agreement <br />between Orange County and the Town of Carrboro. We continue to be satisfied that the library’s space <br />and programming needs remain intact. <br /> <br />The information repository for the project is located at http://townofcarrboro.org/1151/The-203- <br />Project <br /> <br />The Carrboro Board of Aldermen is holding a public hearing during their regular meeting on September <br />4th at 7:30 p.m. to discuss the progress of the project, to review design options related to the site and shell <br />building, and to gather public feedback. The Board of Orange County Commissioners will be provided a <br />summary of this meeting as an information item for its schedule meeting on September 20th, 2018. <br /> <br />We are available to answer any of your questions regarding this project. <br /> <br />
