BACKGROUND: The County has developed new facilities and parks over the past several years as part of its initiative for providing adequate and effective facilities for County services and operations. The following facilities have been developed and put into operation since 2007: Robert and Pearl Seymour Center — Chapel Hill Cedar Grove Park — Hillsborough Twin Creeks Greenway — Chapel Hill Fairview Park — Hillsborough Solid Waste Operations Center — Chapel Hill Central Orange Senior Center — Hillsborough Orange County SportsPlex Renovations — Hillsborough Gateway Center — Hillsborough Emergency Services Operations Center — Hillsborough Orange County Justice Facility Expansion — Hillsborough Animal Services Facility — Chapel Hill Department of Social Services — Hillsborough West Campus Office Building — Hillsborough Orange County Library — Hillsborough Walnut Grove Church Road Convenience Center — Cedar Grove Currently, these facilities are not marked with a commemorative plaque dedicating its use. There are several facilities developed in the past that carry these commemorative markers, such as the Richard E. Whitted facility and the Link Government Services Center. In addition, there is no County policy governing the installation of commemorative plaques within developed County facilities.
