What's on this agenda

Pittsboro's Board of Commissioners met July 14 for a full action agenda: two annexation petitions from Chatham Park Investors on consent, a public hearing annexing Ransdell Farms, a conditional rezoning for a mixed-use project called The Plant, and two preliminary subdivision plats in Chatham Park and the Womble Tract.

The board also took up buying two properties on Farrell Street and Pittsboro Elementary School Road, selling 21.1 acres of park land on Moncure-Pittsboro Road to CPF LLC, closing Suttles Road, and financing terms with First Citizens Bank & Trust for fiscal year 2025-2026.
