What's on this agenda

Chatham County's Climate Change Advisory Committee met by video on 27 August with data centers and the county's climate action plan as its two standing questions. Members took an update on their meeting with Duke Energy about data centers and asked what the committee should do next. The climate action plan update covered a proposal from the Blue Strike consultancy, the steering committee behind it, and what the committee's advisory role becomes once that work is under way.

New business was a community and business recognition program and whether to return to meeting in person, which the committee set for 24 September. The county's environmental quality director reported to the committee, and the agenda carries the full roster: thirteen voting members, seven for a quorum.
