Taylor <br /> Ms. Patricia Warren <br /> Mr. R. David Wrenn <br /> Caswell County Board of <br /> Commissioners <br /> Post Office Box 98 <br /> Yanceyville, North Carolina 27379 <br /> RE: Boundary with Orange County <br /> Dear Board Members: <br /> Enclosed is a copy of a Resolution adopted by the Orange <br /> County Board of Commissioners which includes a proposed local act <br /> which will authorize, but not require, the resolution of the <br /> boundaries between our two counties by orthophotographic means. <br /> The general law requires boundary resolutions by conventional <br /> surveying techniques, a very expensive process. <br /> We provided you with a copy of a similar bill last year which <br /> would have provided the authority sought here for resolution of the <br /> Alamance County Orange County boundary as well, that was presented <br /> to our local legislative delegation last year and requested your <br /> support for it. We did not hear directly from you. We received <br /> unanimous support from the members of the Person County Board of <br /> Commissioners. That bill, however, was pulled from consideration <br /> because of questions raised about its need as between Orange and <br /> Alamance Counties by the Alamance County Board of Commissioners. <br /> We are meeting with that Board this summer to try to resolve those <br /> questions. In the meantime, we would like to move ahead with <br /> obtaining the authorization requested here with respect to Caswell <br /> and Person Counties. <br /> Development along our shared boundary is occurring at an ever <br /> increasing frequency. The Orange County Commissioners hope you <br /> share our interest in providing citizens along the border with a <br /> definite "yes" or "no" to the question: which county is my land <br /> in? <br />
