The sustainability of the Carrboro Greenspace includes more than the environmental aspect

Members of The Village Project weigh in to the online discussion surrounding the Carrboro Greenspace, an undeveloped 10.5 acre plot of land near the heart of Carrboro. The imminent sale of the land has sparked a community debate on how the land should be used. The Village Project believes that the three aspects of sustainability - economic, social, and environmental - should be addressed with any new development of the land.
