The transit tax money could be used to help support some <br />of these. Just like the highway needs in the region, there is not enough money to cover the <br />needs for transportation. <br />10. Countv Manaper's Report <br />Frank Clifton said that the bids for the Efland sewer extension were really good and the <br />County has been allocated money from the State's Clean Water Trust Fund and a tow-interest <br />loan of 2.4%. There is a gravity line that will be associated with removing one of the pump <br />stations, which will open up another 15 acres for residential development. <br />The County also moved forward with the four-year revaluation process. The plan is to <br />do this January 2013. This will be based on sales that occurred in 2011 within Orange County. <br />Preliminary estimates are forthcoming. There will be no impacts for the upcoming budget year. <br />11.
