Volunteer:

Interested in volunteering to serve on the Planning Board? There are a few important things to consider. All members must live in the City of Graham or its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Planning Board Meetings may last up to 4 hours and it is anticipated that members will spend additional time prior to each meeting reviewing proposed projects. Applicants should have an interest in current and future development. 

We encourage potential volunteers to attend a meeting and talk with the staff liaison or Chairperson to answer any questions you may have prior to completing an application. 

Note: Your address may not always reflect whether you are a City of Graham resident. If you are interested in serving on the Planning Board but live in the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) please fill out the Alamance County application. If you are unsure about your residences status you may wish to reference the City of Graham map or contact the City Clerk (336) 570-6700 ext. 3103 to inquire.
