This series of posts will be made monthly on Chapelboro to help inform our community when local government meetings will be. All meeting days, locations and times may be subject to change. Check respective town websites for additional information.

Local governments across Orange and Chatham County are preparing for their final meetings of the year, covering important topics before heading onto holiday breaks. Most continue to meet virtually due to COVID-19, but that doesn’t make their agendas less full and the items less important to our community.

Here is when to expect the main governing bodies among our community to meet in December.

Chapel Hill Town Government

The Chapel Hill Town Council will hold just one business meeting this month, on Wednesday December 9 at 7 p.m. The group will have a work session, however, on Wednesday December 2 starting at 6:30 p.m.

The public is encouraged to register for the meetings in webinar fashion if they want to participate in public comment, but all videos can be live-streamed and accessed after completion on the town website in the following days.

The town will then close most operations on December 24, 25 and 28 to recognize the holidays.

Orange County Government

The Orange County Board of Commissioners will meet twice this month, once on Monday December 7 at 7 p.m. and again on Tuesday December 15 at 7 p.m. The first meeting is an atypical one for the board, but is scheduled as an organizational meeting to swear in new county commissioners elected last month. The board will resume its business meetings the next Tuesday.
