Durham's old Police HQ could be turned into a hotel and affordable housing under new plan
The city of Durham has selected a new development firm to take a stab at redeveloping its former police headquarters property downtown after previous plans for the property fell through. Why it matters: The four-acre property, empty since 2018, is one of the last remaining large tracts of land downtown that the city has control over — meaning it could potentially encourage the creation of affordable housing on a site that it views as a potential landmark development on the west side of downtown. Driving the news: The Durham City Council voted this week to enter into an agreement with...

UNC Football: Position Preview - Special Teams
Special teams have pretty consistently been a bugaboo during Mack Brown’s second tenure in Chapel Hill. According to Brian Fremeau’s FEI, or Fremeau Efficiency Index, the Tar Heels have been inside the country’s top 50 in Special Teams just twice since Brown took over: in 2019, when he had the benefit of a roster most of which had been schooled by Larry Fedora (who, for all his faults, was an excellent special teams coach), and 2022, when he was buoyed by Josh Downs returning punts and great fortune on opponents’ field goals. Last year, despite the emergence of Noah Burnette as one of the country’s most accurate kickers, an injury to punter Ben Kiernan and consistent issues in kickoff and punt coverage hurt the Heels significantly — not only were they bad generally, but special teams were a direct factor in their loss to Virginia. Not a lot has changed in this phase of the game in terms of personnel, but perhaps a year of internal progress can make a difference as UNC aims to have a third phase that can be an asset rather than a detriment.
