Carolina North will be the new campus of the University of Chapel Hill located at the Horace Williams tract in Chapel Hill. The Village Project has been interested in this project in order to achieve the following three goals:
- Visually illustrate local stakeholder input to the Master Plan for Carolina North
- Encourage UNC to incorporate community input through a collaborative process
- Persuade UNC to make Carolina North a model of sustainable land use
