Service Provider InterviewsPittsboro has a plethora of resources available to the community, especially considering that it is a relatively small town. The availability may be due to the fact that Pittsboro is the county seat, meaning that the majority of services offered are at the county level and not just applicable to Pittsboro. However, being located in Pittsboro makes services more accessible to residents of Pittsboro. Several of the resources available are to address the host of social issues confronting all communities, such as domestic violence, substance abuse, and at-risk children.
There are other resources available to enhance the community such as local churches, Pittsboro Memorial Library, the 4-H clubs, GirlScouts/BoyScouts, the Pittsboro Teen Center, Central Carolina Community College, Rural Advancement Foundation International, Jordan Lake and the Haw River. Jordan Lake and the Haw River are the two major recreational parks in Pittsboro. Jordan Lake State Recreational Area offers 13,900 acres of recreational opportunities such as boating, camping, fishing, swimming, and hiking. The Haw River, which runs through Chatham County and eventually into Jordan Lake, is also available to residents of Pittsboro and the surrounding community. Table 10 in Appendix F lists commonly utilized resources, their telephone numbers, and the major purposes of these agencies and organizations. This is certainly not an exhaustive list of the resources available in Pittsboro. Rather, it is a list of the major organizations and agencies that we came into contact with throughout the Community Diagnosis process.
The most valuable resource of Pittsboro is its people. There is a diverse population in Pittsboro and though there may be challenges, this diversity gives Pittsboro many strengths. Pittsboro has many voices: the young, the old, people who have been born and raised in Pittsboro, those who have just moved to Pittsboro recently, the Latino population, African-Americans, Republican, Democrats, and active community members. The list could go on, but the common denominator of all of these people is that they call Pittsboro home and add a flavor to Pittsboro that is attracting more and more newcomers every year
