Volunteers Needed to Serve on Appointed Boards

Please consider offering your time and expertise by serving on a Hillsborough board. Several boards have vacancies.  

Planning Board  

The Planning Board is seeking to fill a vacant seat designated for a resident who resides outside the town limits within the town’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. See the Jurisdiction and Service Areas page on the town website to determine whether you reside in the extraterritorial jurisdiction. 

The Planning Board reviews planning issues within the town’s zoning jurisdiction. It also reviews and makes recommendations on rezonings, subdivisions and ordinance amendments. See the Planning Board page on the town website.  

Meetings are at 7 p.m. the third Thursday of the month. Terms are for three years. Visit the Planning Board page on the town website. For more information, contact Planning and Economic Development Manager Shannan Campbell by email or by phone at 919-296-9477. 

Water and Sewer Advisory Committee 

The Water and Sewer Advisory Committee is seeking to fill upcoming vacancies for seats designated for out-of-town water customers. Half the board seats are designated for in-town water customers, and half are for out-of-town customers. 

The Water and Sewer Advisory Committee is responsible for making recommendations related to management of the Water and Sewer Fund. Recommendations address areas such as public information, operations, and finances. As part of this responsibility, the committee receives updates and requests information from staff to stay informed. 

The committee seeks diversity in its membership to include representation from residential, commercial, and institutional customers. The committee member term is four years. Applicants from new neighborhoods also are encouraged to apply. 

The committee meets at 7 p.m. the first Thursday of every other month. Members also attend other pertinent meetings on a rotating basis. See the Water and Sewer Advisory Committee page on the town website.  For more information, contact Civil Engineering Technician Tyler Freeman by email or by phone at 919-296-9632.
