Public Policy Update from the desk of Bryan Fox, VP of Public Policy

Last week the City Manager presented her recommended budget – which included many exciting continuations and advancements in transportation, community safety, and other Chamber priorities – and the NC Senate passed theirs. This week we look forward to this evening’s County Commissioners meeting and budget public hearing and the continuation of City (Wednesday & Thursday mornings), County (Wednesday afternoon), and State budget deliberations. As additional issues persist, we will keep you updated but remember that many of our priorities are shared by the US Chamber and NC Chamber at the federal and state level respectively, consider getting involved locally by helping fill a vacancy on City & County Boards & Commissions, and continue to reach out anytime.
