This series of posts will be made weekly on Chapelboro to help inform our community about local government meetings. All meeting days, locations and times may be subject to change. Check town, county, and school district websites for additional information.
With the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday on Monday, this week is a lighter one in local government. In Carrboro, the Town Council will hear from the public on a proposed mixed-use development in South Green, near the intersection of South Greensboro Street and NC-54; Orange County Commissioners will discuss school construction projects; and the Chapel Hill Town Council will continue the process of rewriting the town’s land use management ordinance.
Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.
