SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County's commissioners met in special session on 30 January 2025 to finish work the weather had cut short nine days earlier. They made their appointments to state and regional boards and settled on a plan for signs honoring George Moses Horton.\n\nThe 2022 resolution asked for honorary designation signs along the whole 22.5 miles of US 15-501 in the county.
