Conclusion -- The Target Advisory Group feels strongly cnaE.: <br /> i) work snould continue by the EX and Planning board to streamline <br /> ordinances and make the regulation process more Irienaly to ousiness, <br /> development should be encouraged at locations within the COLInty <br /> where utilities and zoning currently 1-*--rnit. it, <br /> 3) a re-assessment of land use policies snould start to allow <br /> utilization of the appropriate locations within the interstate <br /> corridors and Highway 54 west of Carrboro, <br /> 4) Orange County goverment should immediately concentrate on pre- <br /> zoning a parcel of land near the intersection of I-d5 and duckhorn <br /> Road within the identified activity node, <br /> 5) business sites which are immediately available for development in <br /> the Hillsborough and Mebane areas should be marketed, <br /> 6) the intersection of 1-40 and Old NC 86 could be the western gateway <br /> to the Research Triangle; all quadrants of this intersection are <br /> appropriate for commercial, retail, and service industry development. <br /> With the continuation of current actions and an active interest and <br /> approval by the Board of County Commissioners, Orange County can <br /> attract businesses that will protect our pnysical resources and our <br /> excellent quality of life, and increase opportunities for citizen <br /> employment. This will enhance the non-residential taxbase to allow for <br /> more tax revenues and better public services. <br /> Page 5 <br />
