Wexford Entry Wexford, located in Orange County, NC, is one of several Carrboro neighborhoods with a Chapel Hill address. Other neighborhoods with this same confusing address issue include established neighborhoods like Sunset Creek and Lake Hogan Farms, and new neighborhoods like Claremont and Winmore. Carrboro and Chapel Hill share a school system Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools but have separate governments. The tax rate for the Carrboro properties is about .10 per hundred higher than Chapel Hill because of the smaller commercial tax base. The address is really a function of the post office which happens to be in Chapel Hill. This has even been confusing for closing attorneys. In the early 1990's there were lots of new home neighborhoods in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. What made Wexfo... 12/30/2008

Chapel Hill NC Transit Explores Pittsboro-Chapel Hill Route                                                         A proposed express bus route between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill is drawing enthusiastic support from Chatham County residents who make the daily commute along U.S. 15-501.  Brian Litchfield, assistant transit director for the Town of Chapel Hill, said Chapel Hill Transit has been working with the town of Pittsboro for several months to expand bus service to Chatham County. While many of the details -- including stop locations, hours and cost -- still have to be ironed out, the service could begin in early 2009.  "We've developed a general idea of the service," Litchfield said. "The demand is mainly at peak hours early in the morning and late in the afternoon. We're asking t... 12/30/2008
