CHATHAM PARK IS COMING!
The May 5th headline in the New York Time's Business section read:
“A 22,000-Home Community Is Being Built in a 5,000-Person Town.”
Chatham Park, a master-planned community in Pittsboro, N.C., is expected to expand the town to 60,000 people upon completion.
Since houses first went on the market six years ago, Pittsboro’s average home prices have risen steeply to roughly $550,000, up from $360,000 in 2020. With even larger, more expensive homes on the horizon, Chatham Park is becoming a sprawling town where a single company builds the homes, streets, shopping centers, and offices.
This rapid growth raises significant questions: Will a new hospital be built? How will we handle the traffic? How many new schools are needed? Will Pittsboro lose its small-town atmosphere?
JOHN BONITZ, a member of the Pittsboro Board of Commissioners, will join us to discuss these civic and environmental challenges. He will share his concerns regarding urban sprawl, carbon emissions, and the public funding required for such residential growth.
Meeting Details:
- When: Wednesday, May 13th, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Where: The Gathering Place

Additionally, please remember the FHA/Green Scene “3-in-1” event on Saturday, May 16th, featuring paper shredding, pharmaceutical collection, and fire prevention information.
