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

Early voting is underway, and we continue to monitor important conversations happening in our legislative bodies including continued Helene relief, and the City making progress on downtown parking issues. This week the City meets tonight and Thursday afternoon. As additional issues persist we will keep you updated, but remember that many of our priorities are shared by the NC Chamber and US Chamber. Consider getting involved locally by helping fill a vacancy on City & County Boards & Commissions, and continue to reach out anytime.
