Posted Jan 12, 2022
The Chapel Hill Town Council spent an hour Wednesday talking about the costs and benefits of taking over downtown Franklin Street. The N.C.

Town staff and elected officials have expressed frustration that lack of control over the town’s main thoroughfare stymies enlivening downtown.
