Force was a planning effort initiated by the Town of <br />Chapel Hill in December 2006 and completed in early 2009. The Town Report concluded <br />additional transportation access and the provision of sanitary sewer were needed to improve the <br />infrastructure of existing residents and for the orderly development of the Greene Tract. The <br />Final Report was discussed at the March 26, 2009 Assembly of Governments meeting, including <br />consensus for creating an intergovernmental work group of elected officials and staff to work <br />aggressively to achieve needed financing for community improvements. <br />In 2007 the BOCC engaged in a parallel planning effort known as the "Historic Roger's Road <br />Community Enhancement Plan Development and Monitoring Task Force" which overlapped on <br />the Town planning area. In the final Meeting Summary Report of the County Task Force, it was <br />stressed that "final decisions regarding enhancements would not happen until the final decision <br />of the solid waste transfer station was made ". It was also recognized that many of the items on <br />the list would require collaboration with the Towns and that actual financing of enhancements <br />was not the purpose of the Task Force. A Final Report and recommendations from the County <br />Task Force was received by the BOCC as information in December 2008. <br />
