Chapel Hill 2020

The Chapel Hill 2020 Comprehensive Plan is a reflection of the values, aspirations, and ideas of the community. The participants in the Chapel Hill 2020 process envisioned a town that is accessible, affordable, and sustainable; asserted the importance of protecting the community's natural resources; and emphasized the importance of a vibrant downtown and active neighborhoods.

We're working together to implement all the great ideas generated in Chapel Hill 2020, the comprehensive plan that sets a vision and a path for growth for Chapel Hill.
