SUMMARY:Town of Hillsborough: Board of Commissioners Work Session and Budget Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nHillsborough's board holds a public hearing and then decides whether to impose a 60-day development moratorium on data centers as a land use -- an ordinance that would temporarily block new development approvals for data centers\, cryptocurrency mining operations\, and any use tied to data center processing facilities in town.

SUMMARY:Town of Pittsboro: Board of Commissioners Regular
DESCRIPTION:1. Board of Commissioners (BOC)\n\nPittsboro's commissioners adopted the 2026-27 budget on 8 June along with the salary schedule\, position control\, the general fund fee schedule and a development fees ordinance. A voluntary annexation petition from Highcroft Investors and Chatham Park Investors came with a public hearing.\n\nFour items concerned Chatham Park. Besides the annexation\, the board took up relocating the parkland and fire station site in South Village\, a village park land dedication in Section 6.3\, and whether to appoint a liaison to the section design plan process — the mechanism at the center of the town's litigation with residents. The parks and recreation advisory board had recommended against the Section 6.3 dedication 6-0 in February\, and a later motion to approve it failed 2-4\; staff recommended acceptance. Town Lake was a separate choice between keeping the park natural\, which that advisory board preferred\, and paved ADA-accessible trails and boardwalks at a significantly higher cost.\n\nAgenda: https://pittsboronc.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_06082026-550?html=true\nWatch: https://www.youtube.com/@townofpittsboronc/streams\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1323
