Moreover, <br />Orange County is surrounded by an abundance of shovel -ready and certified <br />sites located outside of our borders. For Orange County's EDDs to be seen on <br />par with available sites in Alamance, Chatham, Durham, and Wake counties, <br />Orange County must invest in bringing water and wastewater infrastructure <br />to the Buckhorn and Eno Economic Development Districts (EDDs) within a <br />timeframe that establishes confidence with developers, investors and <br />business owners. The county cannot continue to expect developers to invest <br />in basic infrastructure when there are so many shovel -ready sites available <br />with attractive proximities and 90 -days or fewer permitting processes. <br />U <br />
