Chair of the Orange County Commissioners Jamezetta Bedford speaks with 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell on Wednesday, August 13. She shares details about some recent events commissioners visited this past weekend, including Walk Fairview Day in Hillsborough and the opening of a FitLot at the Seymour Center in Chapel Hill. Bedford also discusses how the flooding from Tropical Depression Chantal may show up on property valuations, but not immediately. Finally, she closes with some updates from Durham Technical Community College, since she serves as the county government’s liaison on the school’s Board of Trustees.
