Chapel Hill Mayor Jess Anderson joins 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell on Thursday, August 7 for “Conversations with the Mayors.” A full month removed from the flooding of Tropical Depression Chantal, Anderson shares details on the recently-launched individual assistance grants through the state government and the stories she’s still hearing around the community from affected residents. Monday marks the first day in the office for new Chapel Hill Town Manager Ted Voorhees, and Anderson shares what she is looking forward to him assuming the permanent role. Finally, the mayors shares a few town-run events and things to keep in mind leading up to the imminent return of undergraduate classes for UNC.
