CHAPEL HILL -- The Orange County Animal Shelter is operating on its regular schedule while UNC-Chapel Hill cleans up an old chemical waste dump nearby, county officials said Monday.
The work, in preparation for initial construction on UNC-Chapel Hill's new Carolina North campus, has changed the shelter's parking and entrance areas.
A new fence surrounds a large area in front of the shelter, including the present parking lot. In the coming weeks, a large tent will be installed over the excavation site.
The project is expected to be finished in August.
