INFORMATION: Carrboro Connects, the Town’s Comprehensive Planning process, continues to move forward with task force meetings and community engagement. Since the last report in February, Council Members Romaine and Gist have attended task force meetings and inspired members with their comments. The second community meeting was held in March and a hundred community members joined in.
The first in-person activities were held last week from June 10-12 when Teska and Lockamy Consulting staff, Scott Goldstein, Francine Sallinger, and Teresa Lockamy came to town for tours, meetings,and pop-up events. The days were packed and engagement was successful!
