0 9 Orange County is continuing the County-wide process of converting rural routes and box numbers to house number addresses. This process is being implemented in phases , with the greatest emphasis being given the rural routes which are subject to change due to postal administrative requirements. On April 21 , 1987 the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted the House Numbering Ordinance as required by State General Statute 153A-240. At the same time rural routes 5 and 8 were •converted to house number addresses. Route 12 is now being proposed for conversion to house numbers. On August 24, 1987 a Public Hearing will be held before the Orange County Board of Commissioners to consider the proposed assignment of house numbers to residences and buildings on rural route 2. The hearing will be held at 7 :30 p.m. in the Superior Courtroom of the Orange County Court- house in Hillsborough, N. C. If approved, house numbers will replace the old system of rural route and box numbers. This change will improve mail delivery and allow 911 emergency calls faster access to addresses. Residents will be required to display their new number on their mailbox with numerals at least 1 inch high. The proposed change affecting your address is as follows : OLD ADDRESS NEW ADDRESS If you wish to speak in regard to this proposal , please attend the Public Hearing. We welcome your comments.
