. d <br /> INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM: 8702-1501 <br /> Triangle J Regional Image Task Force Subcommittee on Olympic <br /> Festival 187 1C: <br /> February 3, 1987 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Chapel Hill ' s appearance commission has formed a subcommittee <br /> of the Olympic Festival Subcommittee to coordinate landscap- <br /> ing along the town' s entryways. 15-501 and Highway 54 . The <br /> Town Council has given tentative approval to a contribution <br /> of$15,000 for plantings and installation. I will be meeting <br /> with the Chapel Hill subcommittee on February 5 to review <br /> their plans and determine how Orange County could coordinate <br /> with Chapel Hill as far as beautification. <br /> The Olympic Festival will also provide flags and banners to <br /> be used in combination with plantings, or to be displayed <br /> along transportation routes to events. <br /> The Olympic Festival will be a national event attracting <br /> international attention and over 300 ,000 visitors to the <br /> Triangle. I believe that Orange County has a considerable <br /> responsibility to help improve the image of the Triangle <br /> Area. After the meeting in Chapel Hill on Thursday, I will <br /> be able to make a more focused proposal on ways the county <br /> might show its best image, not only for the Olympic Festival, <br /> but for the future as well. <br />
