Land Use Distribution and Infrastructure <br /> Most of Cheeks Township north and south of the 1-85 US 70 <br /> corridor consists of agricultural land uses and scattered : <br /> non-farm rural housing. All of the medium and higher <br /> intensity residential, commercial and industrial uses occur <br /> along the 1-85 - US 70 transportation corridor. The village <br /> of Elfand and the portion of the Town of Mebane which extends <br /> into Cheeks Township serve as the focal points for most of <br /> this medium- and higher intensity development. There are <br /> several industrial uses along the portion of 1-85 which forms <br /> the southern boundary of Mebane's extraterritorial planning <br /> jurisdiction. Efland is the site of a few small-scale <br /> textile manufacturing firms, several commercial uses, some <br /> associated with farming, and a post office. <br /> Priol: to 1988, the only municipally sewrd area in Chea <br /> TOMA orate lim which <br /> of Meba <br /> extends into Oran a County and an indu J park between I- <br /> . <br /> 85 and U.S. 70 in the southeastern :C owns <br /> .rn part of =e <br /> extra_,_,,,,,teZZItorial Ju Scheduled for <br /> completion in the sipring of 1988 is the rigaZi Pha 21 the <br /> Efland sewer.
