OFFICE HOURS

Office Hours are an opportunity to have a one-on-one meeting with members of the consulting team, or a brief presentation to a City group. Office hours are conducted during scheduled consulting team visits to New Bern, and are 30-minute meetings held in the conference room at the City’s Development Services Department building located at 303 First Street in New Bern (free parking is available on-site).


Office hours must be scheduled in advance by contacting the City at 252.639.7585.
 

Presentations to City groups may also be scheduled in advance, and may be virtual, depending upon timing.


The purpose for Office Hours is to allow City residents, landowners, and business owners to ask questions and learn more about the Re-New Bern LUO update project. There is also an opportunity to ask a question directly to City staff and the consulting team without scheduling an office hours visit by posting it in the field at the bottom of this page (be sure to include your email address if you would like a response).

​

If you have questions or would like to get more information on how to participate, please provide your question and email in the space below and a member of City staff will get back to you with more details.

Public engagement is critical to the success of the Re-New Bern LUO project.

  • City staff and the consulting team are devoted to making sure that anyone who wishes to be involved and share input or feedback on the project may do so at numerous points throughout the process.

  • The public engagement strategy for Re-New Bern includes four main parts:
    1. This webpage and details about the project (see work products here)
    2. Regular meetings with a project Steering Committee (City staff and appointed officials with technical knowledge about the development process)
    3. Public forums and open houses at key milestones in the project
    4. Regular opportunities for Office Hours appointments with the consulting team open to anyone scheduling a meeting (call 252.639.7585 to schedule an office hours visit)
