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

Last week, the 203 S. Greensboro project returned to the agenda for the Carrboro Town Council and Orange County Board of Commissioners, as elected officials weighed troubling news about the rising cost of the new building. That conversation continues this week, as board members get an update on the project’s guaranteed maximum price.

Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.

Orange County

The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners will meet remotely on Monday, March 14, at 7 p.m. Board members will continue discussing recommendations from the Mayor’s Task Force on Re-Imagining Public Safety. Click here for the full agenda.

Orange County Commissioners and the Carrboro Town Council each meet on Tuesday, March 15, at 7 p.m., with the 203 S. Greensboro project tops on both agendas. The Carrboro Town Council is still meeting remotely, but Orange County Commissioners will meet in person at the Whitted Building in Hillsborough.
