To the editor:

An editorial in the May 11 edition of the Chapel Hill Herald inaccurately reported that UNC-Chapel Hill intends to present to its trustees a “revised plan” for Carolina North, the university’s living-and-learning community planned for the Horace Williams tract in Chapel Hill. We will not present a new or revised plan to the trustees. During the May meeting, we will provide our trustees with an update on Carolina North and will describe a study of potential sites for an alternate airport to serve the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) program. In dozens of public meetings, we have listened carefully to members of the community, and we will continue to listen as we develop, in collaboration with local officials and citizens’ groups, strategies for ensuring that Carolina North serves the needs of the university, the community and the state.

Sincerely,

Tony Waldrop

Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
