What's on this agenda

Hillsborough's Board of Commissioners work session opens with a presentation on proposed zoning districts as part of the town's Unified Development Ordinance rewrite, followed by a consent-style block covering budget amendments, a Period Poverty Awareness Week proclamation, an Orange County Heat Action Plan resolution, and capital project ordinance amendments for the Exchange Club Road bridge, the NC86 facility renovation, and West Fork Eno Reservoir dam repairs, plus a pay classification change and a special event permit for an America 250th anniversary celebration.

The in-depth discussion section covers an annexation interest letter for two parcels on NC 86 South, nonprofit partnership funding requests tied to the FY2026-27 budget (with its own public hearing), and an update on the town's fiber loop project. This agenda does not reference data centers or the town's data-center moratorium.
