Our community has entered another new year, with many new policy decisions, projects and events ahead. With that, local elected officials in Orange and Chatham counties are set to return from a brief winter break and hold meetings again. 2022 appears to be another busy year, as our region continues responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, grappling with slowing populations and rising property values, and mitigating the effects of climate change.

Here are the first business meetings set for our town and county governments’ elected bodies in 2022.

Chapel Hill Town Government

The Chapel Hill Town Council will begin its 2022 with a work session on Wednesday, January 5, at 6:30 p.m. The meeting is also one of the first with council’s three new members.

Additionally, the council is slated to hold business meetings on Wednesday, January 12 and Wednesday, January 26. Both of those are expected to begin at 7 p.m.

The Chapel Hill Town Council is continuing to meet virtually to begin the new year, according to the town government.

Carrboro Town Government

The Carrboro Town Council will be meeting even earlier in the year than the Chapel Hill council, but will be in closed session. Council members will meet in closed session on Tuesday, January 4, before holding a full business meeting on Tuesday, January 11.

Two other meetings are presently scheduled in January: Tuesday, January 18 and Tuesday, January 25. All town council meetings are set to be held remotely this month and will begin around 7 p.m.

Hillsborough Town Government

The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners is set to continue its pattern of meeting one every two weeks in 2022. That will begin on Monday, January 10 in order to have the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday fall between the two meetings.

The meeting, as well as the second one set for Monday, January 24, is expected to start at 7 p.m. The public will be able to view and listen to the meeting by live streaming video on the town’s YouTube channel, since it is set to be held virtually.

Orange County Government

The Orange County Board of Commissioners is also continuing its remote meeting plan and will be holdings its first meeting of the month the latest out of the local governments. The board’s first business meeting of 2022 is set for Tuesday, January 18, at 7 p.m.

Additionally, the board is holding an annual retreat for commissioners to discuss the upcoming year on Friday, January 21 at the Bonnie B. Davis Environment and Agriculture Center. Following that, the board will host the annual Assembly of Governments for all of Orange County’s towns on Tuesday, January 25. The meeting, which is typically held in-person, will also be held virtually and will begin at 7 p.m.

Chatham County Government

The Chatham County Board of Commissioners is set to have an atypical month of meetings. Usually, the board holds its work sessions and business meetings on the third Monday of the month. After experimenting with breaking up the work sessions and meetings at the end of 2021, though, the commissioners are continuing to keep them separate in January.

The elected board is slated to hold two work sessions on Wednesday, January 12 and Friday, January 14 to begin the year. Both meetings are projected to be held in the county’s Agriculture & Conference Center and will start at 9 a.m.

Because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the board will then hold its full business meeting on Tuesday, January 18, instead of a Monday. That meeting, set to begin at 2 p.m., will see the county commissioners return to the Historic Chatham County Courthouse.
