Two meetings have been scheduled to allow the public to give input and receive information about the upcoming Alamance County Strategic Plan. The purpose of these meetings is to allow the public to share their vision and concerns for the county. County staff and leadership will then use the information to draft a strategic plan addressing those needs and expectations.
The first meeting is set for 6 p.m. Jan. 12 in the Oaks Building, Room 212, at Elon University, 416 N. Williamson Ave. in Elon.
The second meeting is set for 6 p.m. Jan. 26 at the Mebane Arts and Community Center, 633 Corregidor St. in Mebane.
The public is welcome and invited to attend and participate in either or both meetings.
The following changes have been made to the Commissioners Meeting Schedule for December 2015 and January 2016:

There will only be one Alamance County Commissioners Meeting for January 2016, and it will be on Tuesday January 19th, 2016 at 7:00 P.M. located in the Alamance County Commissioners Room. This change from Monday to Tuesday is due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.

As the attacks of September 11, 2001 reverberated, public servants and volunteers from emergency medical services, fire and emergency support, law enforcement, and communications combined their energies to serve, save, and protect. In May 2013, Alamance County was gifted a piece of World Trade Center 2 as a reminder of the attacks, and the commissioners have decided to use this piece in a memorial to honor those who served and continue to serve.
As a part of this memorial, the commissioners have decided to give the public an opportunity to both offset the costs of the memorial and to be a part of this important part of American history. There are a number of ways that you can help make this memorial a reality.
You can donate to our IndieGoGo campaign at http://igg.me/at/Alamance911. Please note: portion of your donation through IndieGoGo will go to their maintenance and processing costs.
You can share this campaign with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Even if you cannot donate money, you may be able to engage someone who can.
You can coordinate with friends, work colleagues, civic organizations, and church groups on group donations.
You can send a check to:
