Description
We're asking small business owners and employees - especially from downtown businesses - to let us know what they want for the future of Chapel Hill. Join Aaron Nelson, president and CEO, for an informal conversation about Chapel Hill 2020.
Chapel Hill 2020 is a once-in-a-generation revision of the town's Comprehensive Plan. Every stakeholder can participate, and we need you - the business community - to chime in. You have a rare opportunity to help change the direction of Chapel Hill.
GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK! What is your vision for Chapel Hill? (Even if you don't live in Chapel Hill - if you're a member of our Chamber, you're an investor in Chapel Hill!)
"If we want a better local economy, we need to speak up now. If we stay silent, it will be business as usual," says Aaron Nelson, our president and CEO. It's time to step up.
