What's on this agenda

Pittsboro's Downtown Advisory Board is asked to back a schedule and a steering committee for a new Downtown Master Plan, and to recommend members for that committee to the town board. Staff attached the Concord and Apex downtown master plans for reference. The board also picks locations for two public art pieces: the Moth Bench sculpture on the northeast side of the downtown traffic circle and the Peace Pole in Page Park.

The rest is a downtown brand identity and logo presentation, the election of chairs and vice chairs for the board and its Design, Promotions and Economic Vitality committees, and a discussion of a pre-development analysis of town-owned downtown properties. The commissioners' September 14 agenda records that this board voted 9-0 on August 11 to recommend a $38,000 budget amendment for a Downtown Master Plan and Parking Study update. No minutes of this meeting were available at the time of reading.
