By Morgan Swift Staff Writer Business leaders and residents have voiced a mix of excitement and hesitation regarding a proposal to build an Arts and Innovation Center in Carrboro. The Carrboro Board of Aldermen held a public hearing Tuesday to discuss a proposal for a 55,000-square-foot facility in downtown Carrboro in a parking lot across from the Armadillo Grill. The hearing was one in a series of pub- lic input meetings held by the town to get feedback on the plan. The building would house two non- profits in the community, The Carrboro ArtsCenter and Kidzu Children’s Museum, while still being owned by the town. Philip Szostak, an architect who is also on The ArtsCenter board, presented a possible design for the building that includes three theaters.
