Greene Tract

The Greene Tract consists of 164 acres in southeastern Orange County. Orange County owns 60 acres of the land. The Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and Orange County jointly own the remaining 104 acres.

Consultant teams and staff from the three local governments have been working together with the community to create a plan for development of the Greene Tract. The engagement process elevated the voices of the Rogers-Eubanks Neighborhood area, a historically African American residential community located close to the Greene Tract. The centering of these voices fulfills a decades-long commitment to repair racial and environmental injustices of the past. The engagement for this plan included the following activities:

• Three well-attended community workshops
• Monthly Engagement Team meetings
• Monthly Newsletters
• Stakeholder Interviews

In September and October 2024, the three jurisdictions approved a shared vision and draft land use plan for the Greene Tract that will have a mix of uses, including:

• Mixed-income housing
• Natural area
• Recreation space
• Potential public school site
• Possible small-scale commercial spaces

This page will help us inform and engage the community throughout the upcoming development process.
