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.

While our community’s various local governments held special meetings during a summer break, a full slate of meetings and agenda items is set for September. The extension of Orange County’s state of emergency allows for boards and councils to continue meeting virtual through the end of October, meaning many of the meetings listed here will be held online.
