What's on this agenda

Chatham County's Planning Board met remotely on 15 September with the county attorney, Emily Meeker of Poyner & Spruill, to go through the procedures the board works under and its role in them. The board had asked for the session while writing its data center rules, after the attorney advised that one of its proposals would conflict with Senate Bill 382.

Other business was reserved for further data center discussion.
