Also, if there is a franchise agreement with Chapel Hill and Carrboro, the attorneys will review these <br />to be sure that they are in accordance with the Interlocal Agreement. <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Gordon about the Greene Tract, Commissioner <br />Carey said that they are waiting on some survey work of elevations and terrain to determine the <br />feasibility of running a sewer line across to the Greene Tract so that affordable housing could be <br />provided.
