Chapel Hill Moves Forward with Redevelopment Plan for Toxic Coal Ash Site
Chapel Hill’s police headquarters is built on a toxic coal ash site. A new draft agreement aims to designate the area as a Brownfields site for future redevelopment, with restrictions on its use. The town must design a structural cap to contain the coal ash before any redevelopment. The agreement prohibits residential and other sensitive uses. Public comments on the draft are open until July 30.
