Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a playground / park / athletic field; and for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

The future Millhouse Road Park is a 79-acre site owned by the County located north of Chapel Hill. The facility is planned as a joint Orange County / Town of Chapel Hill shared funding partnership, along with a potential third-party partner. The general concept plan has been to develop the park to feature a soccer complex to address the demand for soccer fields in the area. The County is in discussions with a third-party soccer organization about partnering in the first phase of this project. This project will be completed in phases. Phase I design is planned for FY2025-26, with construction following in FY2026-27. Cost estimates for Phase I anticipate two full-size synthetic turf fields and two natural grass fields along with required parking and infrastructure. This phase also includes a new relocated access road to improve access to the facility and an adjacent landlocked property. Phase II of the project falls outside of the 10-year scope of this CIP. A master plan for the facility and a Memorandum of Agreement with the Town of Chapel Hill and the third party would be initiated in the summer of 2024 to prepare for the project. As of February 20, 2025, this project is included in the Orange County Fiscal Year 2024-2034 CIP. Further information regarding a design firm and timeline for construction has not yet been established. Funding for construction is allotted for FY 2026-2027. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
