INTRODUCTION Downtown Chapel Hill (Downtown), with its eclectic mix of retail, office, and residential uses and its proximity to the University of North Carolina campus has historically been the cultural and commercial nerve center of Chapel Hill and the neighboring areas. However, like similar downtowns across the country, it has been transformed from its role as the primary commercial center to a largely secondary position. In particular, Downtown Chapel Hill has experienced two major forces over the past few decades that have contributed to this evolution: (i) the emergence, and subsequent growth, of Research Triangle Park that has altered employment and demographic patterns in the region, and (ii) the emergence of stand-alone shopping malls that have managed to attract a growing share of residents to the detriment of Downtown establishments.

The Park Police was helped in some aspects of its investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") and the Department of Justice ("DOJ").848 On Thursday, July 22, 1993, in front of Park Police, FBI and DOJ personnel, White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum reviewed documents and other items in Foster's office849 in search of a suicide note.850 None was found. On Monday, July 26, 1993 (four days later), Associate Counsel to the President Stephen Neuwirth discovered a torn "note" apparently written by Foster, in a briefcase in Foster's office. The White House produced the note to the Park Police on July 27, 1993.851 After the note's discovery, DOJ told the FBI to conduct an obstruction of justice 848 At the press conference concluding the investigation on Aug. 10, 1993, Deputy Attorney General Phillip Heymann said: The FBI joined the Park Police in the initial stages of the inquiry into Vince Foster's death because of his status as a federal official and assassination statutes.
