As a result of the 1998 Interlocal Solid <br /> Waste Agreement, 60 acres of the Greene Tract was conveyed to Orange County for "Solid <br /> Waste management purposes" (now known as Orange County SW 60 Acre Tract). <br /> The Interlocal Agreement (amended April 12, 2000) provided for the three owning partners to <br /> determine, over a two-year period, the ultimate disposition of the remaining 104 jointly held <br /> acres. The Agreement further included a repayment mechanism to the Solid Waste Enterprise <br /> Fund. The financial reimbursement to the Solid Was Fund began on July 1, 2008. <br /> This link — http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/WebLink8/DocView.aspx?id=27031&dbid=0 — <br /> provides a history of the Greene Tract from 1999 through 2008 which is a compendium of <br /> various reports and studies which were presented at a `Joint Greene Tract Work Session' on <br /> April 29, 2008 and at an Assembly of Governments meeting on December 6, 2012. <br /> Attachment A provides information regarding the last action taken by the Board of County <br /> Commissioners (BOCC) on December 10, 2002.
