ORANGE C O U N T Y <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date January 18, 1994 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item # <br /> SUBJECT: GREATER TRIANGLE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION APPLICATION FOR <br /> GLAXO INC. SPECIAL PROJECTS GRANT <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning & Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Emily Cameron <br /> Extension 2580 <br /> Draft Application <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill - 967-92511968-4501 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider an application for the Glaxo Incorporated <br /> Special Projects Grant for funding to be used in <br /> publication of the Inventory of Historic Architecture <br /> and Archaeological Sites. <br /> BACKGROUND: On October 4, the Board of Commissioners approved a <br /> grant application for submittal to the State Grants <br /> Program for the amount of $48,000. In December the <br /> Planning Department was notified that Orange County <br /> was not awarded grant funds this year. Consequently, <br /> other funding sources must be sought to produce the <br /> inventory publication. <br /> Attached is a draft copy of the application for the <br /> Greater Triangle Foundation Glaxo Inc. Special <br /> Projects Grant. The amount requested is $6000. The <br /> amount awarded "rarely exceeds $5000; " however, the <br /> grants are offered twice a year. <br /> The Historic Preservation Commission plans to request <br /> similar or greater amounts from the County <br /> Commissioners, the Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, <br /> Hillsborough, and private organizations (such as <br /> historical societies) and individuals. The Planning <br /> Staff has recommended that the initial printing of the <br /> book produce 800-1000 copies rather than 1500 as <br /> originally discussed. The estimated total cost of <br /> printing is $38-40,000, including editorial services. <br />
