INFORMATION: The concept development process for the 203 Project kicked off in late June. Building on the 2018 engagement and design, the updated building program includes approximately 49,000 square feet to house the following:
|
Carrboro Recreation, Parks and Cultural Resources |
|
WCOM Radio |
|
Seed Library |
|
Virtual Justice Center |
|
Teen Space |
|
Multi-purpose Performance Space |
|
Orange County Southern Branch Library |
|
Orange County Skills Development Center Certified Nursing Assistant Program/Durham Tech |
|
Orange County Guardian ad Litem program |
The schematic design incorporates features that were derived from public input in 2018, with the principle change being the substitution of the Skills Development Center activities for the Artscenter space. The design also responds to the revised synergies that result from the new partnerships and opportunities between the building users.
Three public meetings have been held since the last public update on this project on September 15th. Agenda materials and a copy of the presentation are available for review at <https://carrboro.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4639477&GUID=EB052C47-E64C-4420-B7A8-A383891AC131&Options=ID|Text|&Search=203> or with other materials at The203Project.org <http://www.townofcarrboro.org/1151/The-203-Project> .
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: To be determined in relation to direction resulting from the receipt of public comment.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Town Council receive public comment on the schematic design.
