In response to the North Carolina Helene Disaster Declaration, Centralina Regional Council has partnered with High Street Consulting to provide expert guidance on the intricate and challenging post-disaster Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance recovery process.

Strategic planning is necessary for any organization’s success, but going through the process can be daunting and demanding for local government staff. As part of Centralina’s meeting facilitation services, we offer help with strategic planning that will reenergize your staff and encourage productive discussions to ensure your goals are met.

Since 2019, state legislation has required that municipalities hoping to enforce zoning regulations have and maintain a land use plan. Land use plans capture the vision, values and goals of a community in order to create a strategic direction that guides planning decisions.

Code enforcement supports housing preservation by ensuring that properties meet minimum standards for safety, health and aesthetics. These services protect property values, preserve community character and are vital to improving and preserving quality of life for residents and businesses.

Our staff can provide local governments with customized, on-call code enforcement services.

Selecting the best candidate to hire or promote is an important decision for local governments, particularly in leadership positions that are responsible for shaping the direction of the organization.

Assessment centers can be used to create a more complete picture of individuals. Applicants’ ability to drive for results, influence others and tolerate stress are evaluated alongside traditional skills.

On October 21, 2024, Centralina submitted a PRO (Pathways for Removing Obstacles to Affordable Housing) Housing Grant to the US Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). For information on how CHIC would promote affordable housing throughout the region, read our grant proposal.

Centralina Regional Council has received grant funding through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be put toward brownfield revitalization projects throughout our region’s communities. Special guests from EPA’s Region 4 office visited Centralina on October 15, 2024 to recognize the work of local municipalities in turning former development sites into local resources.

The next election is a General Election which will be held on November 5th, 2024. You can find information about early voting, precinct locations and candidates by visiting your county board of elections website.

Residents’ Rights Month is an annual celebration of residents living in long-term care facilities. This opportunity focuses on enhancing awareness around the dignity and rights of individuals receiving long-term services and support.
