Chatham County officials will be meeting to receive an update on one of the largest development projects in the state on Thursday.

County Commissioners and municipal leaders are slated to receive an update on the Chatham Park development at a meeting at Central Carolina Community College.

Chatham Park has been a controversial topic around Pittsboro and greater Chatham County in recent years as the development is slated to bring 22 million square feet of commercial, office and civic space along with 22,000 residential units to the area in the coming years. The project is slated to rest on more than 7,000 acres and could take Pittsboro’s population from 4,000 to 60,000 over the next 30 years.

Multiple lawsuits have been unsuccessfully filed in an attempt to stop the project from moving forward.

The Chatham Park update is set for 6:30 in the CCCC Multipurpose Room.
