The Town of Carrboro is meeting virtually on April 5 to discuss debt financing for the 203 project (new library). Why is the town not allowing for in-person meetings at this point to discuss these important issues of concern to its citizens?
Governor Cooper relaxed COVID restrictions some time ago and has declared that we should all exercise personal responsibility in our decision-making regarding COVID precautions.
What could possibly be the reason why this very important meeting will be virtual? In addition, the Town supposedly advocates for those individuals who may not have access to the internet. Where is the equity here?

Meetings should be held in a hybrid format to accommodate the greatest number of community members.
Please reconsider the placement and scale of the 203 Project. It does not fit where you are proposing. Keep Carrboro on a human scale. Space is a limited commodity. Use it wisely. We have been unable to attend any meeting in person since this current iteration was up for approval.
Please scale this building down and move it out towards where the new Art Center is going. I'm not against any libraries but this one is pushing me. It's too expensive and way too large. You've been holding these meetings in a time no one could show up and only those with internet access could participate to address their concerns or express a dissenting opinion. It's it for the people, by the people? Or did that change? The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government."
They are intentionally making this meeting a virtual due to the fact that thousands of people in the community are opposed to Project 203. The price has more than doubled since it was approved - when the community was busy trying to stay alive during the height of the pandemic!
Orange County has lifted the mask requirement so this seems reasonable and appropriate.

Important decisions and discussions deserve real time, in person community connection.
