Commissioners name LaMontagne County Manager
At its meeting on March 18, 2019, the Chatham County Board of Commissioners announced that Dan J. LaMontagne would officially assume the position of county manager. LaMontagne had been serving as interim county manager since October 1, 2018 after three years in the assistant county manager role.
The Board of Commissioners conducted a manager search and interviewed several candidates, but decided that LaMontagne was the best choice for Chatham. "We're delighted to make this appointment," said Commissioner Chairman Mike Dasher. "While the pool of candidates was quite impressive – and I think indicative of Chatham's reputation as a great place to live and work – in the end, we knew that Dan’s experience and established relationships were unmatched and would serve the county well as we move forward."
Dasher continued, "Dan has the strong support of a very talented staff and has demonstrated a commitment to implementing the board’s vision and priorities. We're confident that under Dan's leadership we can take full advantage of the unique opportunities available to us and continue to grow Chatham County in a measured and thoughtful way."

CORA's SNACK! to Feed 1,500 Children this Summer
SNACK! (Summer Nutritional Assistance for Chatham Kids) is CORA's summer program that distributes much needed food to Chatham County children who normally receive subsidized meals at school during the academic year. In 2018, over 1,400 children participated in SNACK!, and CORA will expand SNACK! to serve more than 1,500 kids during summer 2019.
In Chatham County 50% of public school children, receive free or low-cost meals through the federal school lunch program because their family income is at or near poverty level. That is more than 4,300 Chatham County school children who likely will experience hunger this summer. The SNACK! Program will provide 21 healthy breakfasts, 21 lunches, 21 dinners, and snacks, for each week of summer vacation. Twenty sites across Chatham County, including churches, libraries, and community organizations, are partnering with CORA to distribute this food bi-weekly. Countless volunteers are working to make SNACK! run smoothly this summer and get nutritional assistance to families who need it.
