When the Orange County Regional Landfill <br />was placed adjacent to the neighborhood in 1972, <br />residents were faced with adverse environmental <br />and health impacts. They advocated for themselves <br />for many years, seeking environmental justice and <br />improvements to the area until the landfill was <br />closed in 2013. They were promised recreational <br />facilities, sewer line hook-ups, clean water, and <br />improved infrastructure in exchange for the <br />landfill’s negative effects but these promises by the <br />County were never realized. This, along with planning <br />efforts for the Greene Tract that stalled for several <br />decades, led to significant distrust. This community <br />engagement effort is the conduit for the Greene Tract <br />Master Plan to deliver on the community’s vision and <br />rebuild long term trust and accountability between <br />residents and local institutions. <br />Our team has provided monthly meetings with a <br />Stakeholder Advisory Group, interactive workshops, <br />interviews with adjacent property owners, monthly <br />newsletters, and reports sharing the evolution of <br />insights from engagement activities into Guiding <br />Principles for the Master Plan team. A final report <br />documenting the community engagement process <br />will be delivered at the conclusion of the project. <br />167 acres <br />Expected Completion <br />October 2024 <br />Services Provided <br />Site Tour <br />Community Engagement <br /> Equity Strategy <br />Stakeholder Mapping <br /> Planning Research <br />Monthly Focus Groups <br />Online Survey <br />Stakeholder Interviews <br /> Workshops <br /> Presentations <br /> Newsletters <br />Promotional Banner <br />Let’s plan for the future of <br />our community, together. <br />Register to attend by <br />scanning the QR code or <br />visiting https://bit.ly/ <br />GreeneTract <br />Spanish, Mandarin, <br />Burmese, and Karen <br />interpretation services <br />will be provided. <br />GREENE TRACT COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS <br />LAUNCH WORKSHOP <br />PLAN WORKSHOP <br />CELEBRATION EVENT <br />Sunday, April 14th <br />2:00 - 5:00 PM <br />Sunday, June 9th <br />2:00 - 5:00 PM <br />Sunday in September <br />Date & time to be confirmed <br />Morris Grove Elementary <br />215 Eubanks Rd <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27516 <br />Morris Grove Elementary <br />215 Eubanks Rd <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27516 <br />Location is being finalized <br />and will be posted on the <br />website.
