• 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.
