Hi again !! I have one more question. Can I understand the meaning of hang around in the context that the person live there or just stays there for work?

thanks

We don't know enough to answer that question. From the bit you have quoted for us, "he" is just hanging around Boone - he's going to be in Boone for the summer, visiting his friends, doing a bit of teaching, going to workshops, not going away, preparing for his next project.
