This month, Kelly and Aaron are joined by Mebane’s new city manager, Richard White III! White is new to Mebane but not the Triangle: he previously served as town manager in Carrboro. Also, Kelly shares details about a 59-acre residential development that just got approved by the City Council – as well as fun upcoming events for the spring, including the Downtown Eggstravaganza and Bunny Hop on April 12, and the annual Mebane Dogwood Festival on April 25-26.
