Hillsborough Mayor Mark Bell speaks with 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell on Tuesday, August 19. He shares what details are publicly known about a dramatic fire along South Churton Street from the weekend, as well as digging into a pair of items on last week’s agenda for the Board of Commissioners. Bell discusses a proposed police department reorganization amid a big staffing change and what pieces of artwork the town purchased for permanent display from the Uproar Festival of Public Art.
