Crowther, Chair <br /> Date: March 18, 1997 <br /> Re: Park Along the Eno River in Hillsborough <br /> Over the past year, Orange County,along with the Town of Hillsborough,the Hillsborough Area <br /> Chamber of Commerce,The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough,and the Occaneechi Indians,has <br /> been working on the development of a downtown river park in Hillsborough. Aided by the State <br /> Division of Community Assistance,the group has developed a plan featuring a trail system, <br /> performance pavilion, and a reconstruction of an Indian palisade. The park is expected to be a <br /> catalyst for increased heritage tourism in the historic downtown, as well as a place for concerts, <br /> plays, and festivals to benefit local citizens and visitors. <br /> The total cost for the park is estimated at$300,000. To date, almost half of the funds have been <br /> raised. We request that you seek and support the provision of State discretionary funds to assist <br /> us in completing this project. The positive effects that this project will have on downtown <br /> business, historic preservation,Native American recognition,tourism, and recreation make it an <br /> important project to the Town, County, and State. <br /> You Count In Orange County <br /> AREA CODE(919) 732-8181: 968-4501: 688-7331: 227-2031: FAX(919)644-3004 <br /> Ezx 2130 <br />
