| Town offices begin move to new center
CHAPEL HILL -- Town services -- including sanitation, building and street maintenance, and landscaping -- are beginning to move to the Town Operations Center on Mill House Road just north of Eubanks Road. The facility will become the new home to the Public Works and Transportation departments, which are currently located off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Municipal Drive. Planning began after the town was required to leave its current site that had been leased from UNC, now moving forward on plans for Carolina North. The $51.6 million Town Operations Center project includes four large buildings, new water and sewer lines and extensive improvements to Mill House and Eubanks roads. Note the new address and phone number for the Public Works Department 969-5100 (if this number is not operating during this interim moving period, try 969-5111).

"We have consulted with the attorney general and all understand it is appropriate to postpone Attorney General Gonzales' appearance before the Judiciary Committee until Thursday, in light of the tragic events that occurred Monday at Virginia Polytechnic Institute." There is animated speculation in Washington over whether Gonzales, a close friend of President Bush, can survive questioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
