Objective

Our goal is to provide essential and non-essential information or major news to the public in a timely and reliable fashion. We aim to promote awareness of Mebane and the surrounding region by developing and disseminating information to the community regarding City activities and services.

The Public Information Office has a website called "Positively Mebane" where you can access City videos, events, and official documents such as the City Council meeting recaps and PowerPoints.
