Planned Bellevue Mill Project in Hillsborough May See Changes

HILLSBOROUGH — The public is invited to a presentation Wednesday,
April 8, on the planned renovation of the former Flynt Fabrics mill
into apartments.

The meeting — at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Cloth Building on Nash Street
— will include potential modifications to the special-use permit that
was approved in 2007 for the Bellevue Mill project.

That permit allows the renovation of the historic portion of the
former mill building. The approved plan calls for 85 apartments and a
2,000-square-foot leasing office.

The owners, who had the Nash Street property listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, are seeking a development partner to
complete the project. The approval is valid through Sept. 1 and may be
extended upon request. Applicants have two years from the date of
approval to secure construction permits or to seek an approval
extension from the Hillsborough Town Board.

The Town Board will discuss the developer’s proposed modifications
during its regular meeting at 7 p.m. April 13 in the Town Barn,
located on the Town Hall campus at 101 E. Orange St.

New property could incorporate train stop, cultural center

September 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Rail Station 3

Last year, Hillsborough resident and UNC Associate Professor Tom Campanella had his Site Planning and Urban Design class envision a train stop that incorporated an arts center on 20 acres of land in the middle of town, which the town recently acquired.

Attached are the design sketches. The design was borrowed from Ramapo College’s Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts (using a SketchUp 3D Warehouse module).

The Cultural Center Committee recognizes this as a potential site for the Cultural Center.

Library tour

July 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

On Tuesday, July 22, members of the Cultural Center Committee toured the soon-to-be vacated Whitted building to see how it might work as a cultural center.  The Whitted building currently houses the Orange County central public library and the Department of Social Services.  We are thankful to Andrea Tullos, assistant to the Director of the library for the tour.

The committee took some of the preliminary measurements, and is seeking a more formal floor plan of the building.  The plans will be matched with the projected space needs for the center.
