The counties agree that they could choose to share <br />equally in the value of future improvements to the Park and Natural Area, could share the <br />value of improvements using a different cost sharing agreement, or either county could <br />choose to fund additional improvements to be located in either county's respective <br />jurisdiction as long as said improvements are consistent with the adopted Master Plan. <br />4. Grant Funds. The Parties acknowledge that grant funding may be awarded to Durham <br />County or Orange County for the development of the Park and Natural Area. Either <br />county may administer said grants on behalf of and for the joint benefit of both counties. <br />V. Site Operations <br />1. Operation and Management.
