TONIGHT is our Fearrington Preserve Community Town Hall!

With the final Chatham County Board of Commissioners vote just one week away on Monday, November 16, tonight is our final opportunity to gather as a community, walk through the facts of the Planning Board's 8–3 denial recommendation, and prepare for next week's public hearing.

📅 WHEN: TONIGHT — Monday, November 9, 2026 | 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM (Doors open at 6:15 PM)
📍 WHERE: Chatham Grove Community Center Multipurpose Room (at Chatham Grove Elementary School)
601 Chatham Grove School Rd, Pittsboro, NC 27312

WHY YOUR PRESENCE TONIGHT MATTERS:

Every filled seat in the room tonight sends an unmistakable message that Northern Chatham residents are paying attention. In just 90 minutes, we will cover:

  • Special Guest District 3 County Commissioner Mike Roberson: Commissioner Roberson will be in attendance to listen directly to residents and answer your questions during an open Q&A session.
  • The 10-Minute Case Breakdown: Why the Planning Board voted 8–3 to recommend denial—including the developer’s 77% cut to required walkable commercial space, 50% roadside buffer waivers along Parker Herndon & Morris Roads, 5 disconnected pods, 6,500+ new daily car trips across 4 local school corridors, and 109+ acres of forest clear-cutting near flood-prone Pokeberry Creek.
  • The Game Plan for Monday, Nov 16: How to sign up for the Board of Commissioners public hearing, coordinate 3-minute public comments, and make your voice count.
  • FREE Yard Signs at the Door: Pick up a set of our updated "Nov 16 Vote" Smart Chatham yard signs tonight to display along your street this week!

CAN’T MAKE IT FOR THE WHOLE MEETING?

Even if you can only stop by for part of the evening, or swing by at 6:15 PM to grab a set of yard signs for your neighborhood, we would love to see you there. 

HOW TO HELP IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS:

  1. Bring a neighbor: Forward this email or text a quick invite to 2 neighbors on your street who may not have been following the rezoning process closely.
  2. Can't attend tonight? You can still request a yard sign delivery and send a 1-click letter to the Board of Commissioners right now at: https://www.smartchatham.org

Thank you for standing up for smart, responsible growth in Chatham County. See you tonight at 6:30 PM!
