The story so far

Pittsboro voted 4-1 on 11 May to end its Flock Safety license plate reader contract and switch the cameras off by 1 July.

A new town hall on JA Farrell Street is the largest project before the commissioners, estimated at $10.9 million to build. After turning down a modern design, the board on 28 September moved toward a gabled option, with a design due in November. The same night a commissioner moved to table the Robeson Creek Park master plan until April.

Chatham Park keeps coming back. The town is in litigation with three groups over the South Village small area plan. On 12 October the commissioners hear presentations on design plans for four South Village sections, a transportation update and a fiscal impact analysis, and hold a hearing on the Roberts Run subdivision plat.

Drawn from 92 summarized meetings, last revised 8 days ago.
