C <br />Page 3 of 3 Laura Nicholson <br />aEoSolely responsible for forensic accounting procedures, monitoring compliance, and initiating <br />administrative systems that saved company $50K+ per year <br />What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? <br />I am independent, reliable, highly organized, imaginative, and detail- oriented self - starter. My <br />drive and experience as a community volunteer would bring a unique perspective to the Orange <br />County Planning Board. <br />What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to <br />accomplish if appointed? <br />I see the Planning Board as the entity responsible for making studies of Orange County and <br />being of service to the County Commissioners to carryout their vision and plans. <br />If appointed, I would represent the Eno Township and advocate for the interests of its residents <br />while balancing the needs and vision of other parts of Orange County. <br />What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related <br />to growth? <br />I feel that Orange County occasionally misses out on economic development opportunities. <br />Then other counties swoop in and often receive opportunities that Orange County could have <br />monopolized (like Tanger Outlets being built in Alamance County due to unfinished water lines in <br />outlying areas of Orange County). <br />What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? <br />The Planning Board serves in an advisory capacity only. We can suggest ideas to guide and <br />regulate growth but the ultimate decisions rest with the County Commissioners and local <br />government representatives. <br />How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of <br />the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? <br />I would work to support the Board of Commissioners overall goals and priorities by being an active community <br />volunteer and informed board member. I would continually study and work to increase my knowledge to be of further <br />service in any way possible. <br />Other Comments: <br />This application was current on: 2/14/2014 7:28:20 PM Date Printed: 3/10/2014 <br />
