DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- A bottling facility in Durham, that's been bottling Coca-Cola for decades, may soon be demolished in favor of apartments.

A proposed development, uncovered by our newsgathering partners at the News & Observer, would raze the bottling facility on Hillsborough Road near NC-147 and US-501.

Replacing the building would be apartments, townhomes and a grocery store.

The developer behind the project is an Atlanta-based firm called Ardent.

The Durham Planning Commission unanimously approved the plans Tuesday. The full City Council must still vote on it before it can proceed.
