What's on this agenda

The Intergovernmental Parks Work Group met on 9 April 2025 to hear about the Orange County Trails Plan and to go round the table on connectivity projects from Carrboro, Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Mebane and the county. It closed on two subjects for future meetings: community use of schools, and the effects of federal funding decisions.

The group brings together parks staff and elected members from the county, its three towns, Mebane and both school boards. It meets twice a year; the next meeting was set for 8 October 2025. No minutes have been published for this meeting, so what was said is not on the record here.
