Interested in Joining
Alexander Gregory
My name is Alex Gregory. I previously served on the OC planning board and was briefly the vice chair until I moved out of state for work in 2019.
My wife and I have recently moved back to Hillsborough, and I am interested in joining the board again. Could you please let me know the process for applying?
Thank you,
Alex Gregory

Hi Tara and Cy,
Thank you both for the help. I’ve submitted my application and am looking forward to the opportunity to get involved again and support the County however I can.
During the application process, I realized applicants are asked to select multiple boards for consideration, so I provided thoughtful responses for each. That said, given my prior service and professional background, the Planning Board is definitely where I believe I could contribute the most value and where my strongest interest is focused.
I appreciate your time and consideration, and I’m excited to reconnect with the County if selected.
Thanks again,
Alex Gregory
