Statewide and local reporting here takes in Chapel Hill town council and the Orange County board of commissioners, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and the University of North Carolina alongside the research, health care and education employers that define the local economy. From Meadowmont and Southern Village to Northside, Gimghoul and Greenwood, neighborhood reporting extends through the town and into Durham County, Chatham County, Alamance County and Person County where a story crosses the line. The North Carolina Tar Heels athletics program and UNC Health's medical campus generate economic activity and institutional decisions that regularly intersect with town planning, transportation and housing policy. Affordable housing for university and health system workers, and the management of growth pressure within the Research Triangle metropolitan area, are the planning subjects that return most reliably to local government.
