Green Community Opens In Chatham County

By Jackie Asztalos, NBC17 Reporter

One of the largest green communities in the Triangle is now opening its doors in Chatham County.

Developers and Chatham County officials introduced the Brier Chapel community to the public Thursday. This development was constructed to provide homeowners with greener homes including increased solar capabilities and increased water conservation.

They will build over 2,400 homes and 900 acres will be open space for parks and trails. About 600,000 square feet will be dedicated to retail and office space.

President of the Chatham County Economic Development Corporation said Brier Chapel is a perfect fit for the area.
 
“It also is very consistent with the values that people hold dear in Chatham County; the open space, the integration of art.  It also promotes sustainable energy and building practices,” Reid said.

The developer also donated land to rebuild the Woods Charter School just down the street from the community.

They will hold their VIP celebration and grand opening on Saturday.
