Orange County
It isn't "Throwback Thursday" yet it feels like old times. I'm covering the Board of Aldermen (after a more-than-a-decade pause) and Orange County/Northern Chatham at large once again. This time, for the Chapel Hill News | News & Observer. I won't be covering affordable housing for the time being as I continue as Chair of the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners until January, but of course I can pass those stories along and encourage good coverage (like any good reporter would). This is freelance work, not full time, but I'm so glad to at least have my toes in the waters of local coverage once again.
First story should appear on Wednesday. If you have news about Carrboro or the County at large, please send it my way!
