• Pittsboro weighs Town Hall's identity, park's future as growth reshapes the town (chathamjournal.com) — Pittsboro leaders are zeroing in on a traditional design for a new Town Hall near Thompson and J.A. Farrell streets while wrestling with how fast to move on the 72‑acre Robeson Creek Park master plan. Commissioners debated walkability, long‑term costs, environmental stewardship, and whether to delay final park decisions until more invasive plants are cleared. Upcoming meetings will shape building details, park access, and funding priorities.
• Chatham County Announces Conservation Poster and Essay Contests (foxync.com) — Families in Pittsboro and across Chatham County can start planning now for the 2026‑27 Conservation Poster and Essay Contests, with entries due February 19, 2027 at the Soil & Water office on US 64 Business in Pittsboro. Students in grades 3–12 are invited to explore the theme "Soil & Water…Yours for Life!" through creative artwork or writing, with full rules and study materials available from the district's education coordinator.
• Judge rules against Chatham County in Eco TIP data center fight (chathamjournal.com) — A judge in Pittsboro has ruled that Chatham County wrongly used a year‑long moratorium to halt Eco TIP's massive data center project at Triangle Innovation Point West, leaving taxpayers potentially on the hook for attorney fees and damages. The ruling doesn't fully explain the legal reasoning, and the county is weighing appeal or settlement options while the court decides how much money is owed and whether the project can advance under older rules.
