203 S. Greensboro Project
Background Information.
In 2016, the Town began actively exploring development of the existing parking lot at 203 S. Greensboro Street in response to a request from Orange County to locate the new Orange County Southern Branch Library there. After completing a study of Town facilities conditions and the need for future space, as well as hearing of other compatible users, interest in building new space for Town and related uses was identified. Additional information on the project may be found in the list below:
Architectural Design Services Selection
The Town released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional architectural/engineering services for the 203 S. Greensboro Project on November 19th (Attachment A). Eight written responses were received by the December 5th deadline.
Consistent with the Development Agreement between the Town and Orange County (linked below), a staff panel was established to review the submittals and identify the top two design teams for consideration by the Board of Aldermen in early February.
