PROCESS FOR RESOLVING ORANGE-ALAMANCE COUNTY BOUNDARY LINE <br />Over the years, Orange and Alamance Counties have had different interpretations of <br />the physical location, on the ground, of the boundary line dividing the two counties. As development <br />intensifies along the County line, it becomes increasingly important to establish swell-defined <br />boundary that is absolutely clear to property owners on both sides of the line. Last year, in response <br />to a letter from John Link, the Alamance County Manager declined a process to resolve the <br />boundary. Land Records Manager Roscoe Reeve asked that the County Commissioners ask the <br />Alamance County Commissioners to support special legislation that would permit a simplified, less <br />costly alternative to current law for resolving the boundary disagreement. <br />The Board agreed to seek and conduct a meeting with appropriate elected and <br />appointed officials of Alamance County to discuss possible resolution of the Orange-Alamance <br />County boundary line. <br />
