CHTC Member Storrow to Host Town Halls

Chapel Hill Town Council Member Lee Storrow is scheduled to host the first of four town hall events Wednesday evening.

Over the next two weeks, Storrow will host four such events to get input from the residents and business owners of Chapel Hill.

Storrow says each town hall will have a different focus.

Wednesday, February 25, beginning at 5:30 in the evening at DSI Comedy, Storrow will be joined by business owners and leaders from the Chapel Hill Downtown partnership to receive feedback and share goals of the future of Downtown Chapel Hill.

Saturday, February 28, at 1 o’clock in the afternoon, Storrow will host a Town Hall at the Rogers Road Community Center. This event will focus on social and environmental justice.

Thursday, March 5, at 5:30 in the evening from The Siena Hotel, a Town Hall will focus on economic development.

Finally, at 5:30 in the evening of Thursday, March 12, Storrow will host a Town Hall at the Chapel Hill Public Library. This will include leaders from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and will focus on working together across governmental lines in Orange County.

Storrow says that he is holding these events to receive feedback about what issues are important to residents of Chapel Hill.

When asked if this was the first step in announcing a run for election when his term is up this fall, Storrow says it is still early to make a formal announcement. He adds that an announcement will likely be made next month.
