It’s evident that North Carolina, and Chatham County in particular, is undergoing significant population growth. The management and oversight of this growth fall under the purview of various government agencies, with the Chatham County Planning Department playing a crucial role.
At our March 13th meeting, 31 residents attended the program presented by FOUR members from the Chatham County Planning Department team who discussed the nature of their work, covering Current and Long Range Planning projects, including the UDO (Unified Development Ordinance) & Drafting, The Comprehensive Chatham County Plan (Plan Chatham 2017), Plan Moncure, Transportation Planning, & Conservation and Resiliency Planning, and shed light on how the ongoing expansion of Fearrington Village, alongside neighboring communities such as Briar Chapel, might unfold in the foreseeable future.
After each team member spoke, there was an engaged Q&A session at the end. This was a fantastic opportunity to gain insights into local planning initiatives and voice any questions or concerns from those attending the program.
Our friends at Briar Chapel Green Scene have extended an invitation to any interested Fearrington residents to attend educational events on a Group Solar Program. A solar designer from Southern Energy Management, Inc will discuss the environmental and cost benefits of solar energy + battery storage, as well as the process of installing solar panels on your home.

- March 11th, 10 - 11:30 AM
- March 12th, 7 - 8:30 PM
