Two more things

I wanted to mention two more things:

The first is that there is progress on the Bellevue Mill condo project. Tonight at 6 p.m., some modifications of the Special Use Permit for the former Flynt Fabrics mill will be discussed at a meeting in the Cloth Building on Nash Street. The town board will discuss it next Monday. From the town:

"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."

The second thing is that an article on the UNC General Almuni Association has mentioned that UNC Health Care will pursue a 100-bed hospital in Hillsborough. When I reached Karen McCall, VP of Public Affairs and Marketing with UNC Health Care, she told me, "We haven't submitted any plans to anybody yet. ... We're considering all sorts of things — hotels, motels."

That's the official word thus far. We should have something more by next week's paper.

No more from me today. FYI, I'm all over the place tomorrow and off Friday; so possibly expect something from Vanessa this week but otherwise I'm off the blog for a few days.
