The board considers releasing its predevelopment plan for the former SunTrust building at 353 S. White Street to commercial developers.

A public hearing also gathers comment on the five-year Capital Improvements Plan for fiscal 2022-2027, with board action set for February 15. Commissioners take up a revised resolution backing NCDOT's proposed U-5307 interchange design for US 1, fixing a typo in a version they approved January 4.

The consent agenda also includes a codification update to the town's ordinance book. A separate resolution appoints commissioners to town and regional boards for 2022, including the Historic Preservation Commission, the Public Art Commission and the Triangle J Council of Governments. The board also recognizes Betty Pearce, the town's Electric Administrative Specialist, on her retirement after 26 years.
