Budget season continues for town and county government, with several boards set to hold their final budget votes this week. In Carrboro, meanwhile, the Town Council is set to take a vote with even longer-lasting ramifications, potentially signing off on a comprehensive plan to govern the town for the next two decades.
Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.
Orange County
The Carrboro Town Council meets Tuesday, June 7, at 7 p.m. in Town Hall. Newly elected Council Member Eliazar Posada will be sworn in, then the Council will tackle a busy agenda – culminating with a vote to adopt the “Carrboro Connects” comprehensive plan that will guide town planning for the next 20 years. In addition, the Council will also hear from the public on next year’s budget and consider issuing a Special Use Permit to allow the ArtsCenter to move to a new building on Roberson Street.
