The other way <br />is we are working to move students out of the residency halls. We have had 850 cancellations and <br />we are asking students to let us know by Tuesday whether they are cancelling or if they are going to <br />need to stay for a hardship reason (lack of safe alternative housing, lack of reliable internet, high‐risk <br />family members at home, athletes, international students). There are a lot of reasons students may <br />still be on campus. They may be moved to different residence halls so that there is a single residence <br />as opposed to doubles and in those halls that have the least amount of bathroom sharing. <br /> Mayor Lydia Lavelle – Town of Carrboro <br />Mayor Lavelle introduced the Town of Carrboro’s new Economic Development Officer, John <br />Hartman‐Brown. <br />Proclamation allowing Carrboro businesses to expand dining onto sidewalks and/or parking lots. <br />Most restaurants haven’t opted for expanded dining, probably due to financial constraints. <br />Outreach to Carrboro minority businesses. <br />Virtual events in Carrboro. <br />Enforcement of COVID rules with students within the community. <br /> Shannan Campbell – Town of Hillsborough, Economic Development <br />Keeping marketing focus local and with usual regional partners in the mountains, Winston Salem, <br />Greensboro, and Raleigh. <br />Hillsborough also struggling with consumer confidence and getting the message out that it is safe to <br />visit. <br />Many Hillsborough businesses have opened back up with limited capacity and sanitizing between <br />customers. <br />Different events still evaluating whether they can do their events with socially distancing. The <br />Garden Club is still planning on holding their garden tour in May 2021. <br />Hillsborough Visitors Center still closed but providing materials on the porch. <br />Hillsborough Organizations doing virtual programming. <br /> Katie Murray, Director, Orange County Arts Commission <br />Love Hillsborough community art project. <br />Virtual Arts Guide for Fall. <br />Poster series in partnership with the Orange County Health Department and Orange County Library. <br />Keep local artists in‐mind to hire for projects and support. <br />Support our local organizations! <br /> Spring Council – Mama Dips Restaurant <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: A444BEDE-AA02-4EEC-B4D9-9471AF7E1380
