What's on this agenda

Chatham County's Environmental Review Advisory Committee met by video on 12 March and put three subjects on its own list: researching data centers and advising the commissioners, whether to look into the land application of municipal sewage sludge in the county, and how the planning board receives the committee's environmental impact reviews.

It also discussed changes to the Fearrington Preserve environmental impact assessment. The data center proposal went to the Climate Change Advisory Committee on 26 March as a joint working group.
