SUMMARY:Orange County: Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nOrange County commissioners meet Thursday for the twice-yearly progress report on the countywide strategic plan\, and for a first look at a draft Strategic Communications and Civic Partnership Plan. The rest of the evening is appointments to thirteen advisory boards.\n\nThe communications plan would set a county-wide framework for how Orange County talks to residents and staff\, treating communication as a core public service rather than a support function. Its stated aims are clearer and more consistent messaging\, wider access\, stronger internal capacity\, and durable relationships with communities.\n\nAgenda: https://www.orangecountync.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_09102026-2664\nWatch: https://orangecountync.cablecast.tv/show/67?site=1\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/2918

SUMMARY:Orange County: September Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Advisory Board
DESCRIPTION:Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau\n\nHoteliers in Orange County\, Chapel Hill and Carrboro have been talking among themselves about restructuring the Visitors Bureau and changing the local occupancy tax statutes. Chair DR Bryan briefs the advisory board on those discussions Wednesday morning. The agenda is careful to say the ideas are early and that neither the bureau's board nor Orange County has endorsed them.\n\nThis is also executive director Laurie Paolicelli's next-to-last meeting before she retires on November 2. She reports on tourism projects planned for 2027\, the events the bureau will support with advertising\, and Clean Design's recent Orange County Today presentation. Matt Hughes and Hannah Hemphill give the budget update.\n\nAgenda: https://www.orangecountync.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_09162026-2672\nWatch: https://www.orangecountync.gov/953/Board-of-County-Commissioners-BOCC\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3974
