Durham, N.C. - The Durham Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will hold a Regular Session meeting in person on Monday, February 27, 2023. This meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Meetings are held inside the Commissioners' Chambers, located on the second floor of the Administration I Building, located at 200 E.
