What's on this agenda

The board holds an early discussion of data centers and land use -- staff's first look at the issue that would return as a proposed 60-day development moratorium at the board's May 27 meeting. The board also gets a Strategic Plan update and a first look at the Fiscal Year 2027-29 recommended budget, and previews hot topics for the May 27 work session. Appointments include reappointing Megan Kimball and appointing Blake Tedder to the Tourism Board as Alliance for Historic Hillsborough representatives.

The consent agenda includes a resolution to submit the FY2026-27 HOME Annual Action Plan to Orange County (which administers federal housing funds regionally), a SecureNC cybersecurity partnership with the state, a special event permit for a 5K run, and proclamations for Police Week, Public Works Week, Heat Awareness Week, Memorial Day, and Community Home Trust Day.
