The city’s redevelopment commission is scheduled to hold the first of two public hearings next week to review and discuss the Elmwood Urban Redevelopment Area plan. The group will meet on Thursday, Jan. 27 at 5:30 p.m. in Council chambers at City Hall, 134 Rose Ave. The public is welcome to attend either in person or via Zoom, according to information from City Clerk Esther J. McCrackin.
The public hearings are part of the overall process of creating a workable plan for the proposed area, which consists of about 200 acres that include both sides of Burwell Avenue, Chestnut Street all the way to Andrews Avenue and almost to Beckford Drive, including Elmwood Cemetery. The city is getting guidance and support from the UNC School of Government’s Development Finance Initiative as it continues to refine a detailed plan for redevelopment for the area.
The second public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 3, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The location is the same – Council chambers – and the public may attend in person or via Zoom.
