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.
This week is a lighter one in local government, but there are still a number of key agenda items. In Chapel Hill, the Town Council will continue the process of updating the town’s Land Use Management Ordinance, or LUMO. The Orange County Schools board of education will continue their discussion of student data from the beginning of the school year. And perhaps the biggest agenda item of the week is in Pittsboro, where Chatham County Commissioners will vote on whether to merge the county’s water and sewer system with the city of Sanford.
Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.
