Local government boards are getting back into the swing of things this week after their respective holiday breaks. Multiple boards are discussing their goals for the General Assembly in 2023; Chapel Hill officials will take another look at a downtown development proposal; and officials in Durham will consider a symbolic action that honestly should happen, even though Chapel Hillians aren’t going to like it.

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

The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners meets Monday, January 9, at 7 p.m. in Town Hall Annex. Commissioners will discuss the topics for a work session later this month and set their legislative policy goals for the General Assembly in 2023. Click here for the full agenda.
