Hillsborough station (North Carolina)

Hillsborough is a planned train station in Hillsborough, North Carolina, located on the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR). According to town officials, the station building will be closely modeled on the Kannapolis station. When it is completed, Amtrak's "Carolinian" and "Piedmont" will serve the station. It will be the nearest Amtrak station to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
History.
The city purchased the parcel around to construct a rail station.
Plans originally called for a station near the intersection of Churton Street (old NC 86) and US 70 Business to be completed by 2015 at a cost of $8.9 million. After unanticipated delays between NCRR, Norfolk Southern Railway and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, construction was initially scheduled for 2019-2020 with $7.2 million currently budgeted and a projected cost of $8.4 million. However, after further delays, the Hillsborough town commission signed an interlocal agreement with GoTriangle and NCDOT in April 2020, with construction slated for 2027 on a budget of $8.1 million.
