Past Meeting
The Carrboro Town Council met Tuesday, June 21, and took the following actions on the agenda posted at https://bit.ly/3MgTPmt
- Approved the HOME Investment Partnerships Program’s Annual Action Plan activities for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. The Town of Carrboro is a member of the Orange County HOME Consortium, which also comprises the Town of Chapel Hill, Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough. Elected representatives from each jurisdiction (the Collaborative) reviewed and evaluated funding applications received for proposed FY 2022-2023 HOME funding. The four local jurisdictions contribute proportionally based on population, and the Town of Carrboro’s 2022-2023 match allocation is $14,270.
- Authorized the Mayor to execute a revised Memorandum of Understanding for the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness to better reflect how the Orange County 10-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness had evolved and to more accurately describe the structure of the Partnership to End Homelessness and its role in coordinating homeless program services in the County.
- Received a status report on a number of local transportation projects that are underway. These projects include the Morgan Creek Greenway, Jones Creek Greenway, and S. Greensboro Street Sidewalk, all of which are in design stages; and the E. Main Street Resurfacing/Restriping, which is currently underway with completion expected by the end of the summer.
