Conclusion -- The Target Advisory Group feels strongly tnat.: 1) work should continue by the EDC and Planning board to streamline ordinances and make the regulation process more friendly to business, 2) development should be encouraged at locations within the County where utilities and zoning currently permit. it, 3) a re-assessment of land use policies should start to allow utilization of the appropriate locations within the interstate corridors and Highway 54 west of Carrboro, 4) Orange County government should immediately concentrate on pre- zoning a parcel of land near the intersection of I-85 and duckhorn Road within the identified activity node, 5) business sites which are immediately available for development in the Hillsborough and Mebane areas should be marketed, 6) the intersection of I-40 and Old NC 86 could be the western gateway to the Research Triangle; all quadrants of this intersection are appropriate for commercial, retail, and service industry development. With the continuation of current actions and an active interest and approval by the Board of County Commissioners, Orange County can attract businesses that will protect our pnysical resources and our excellent quality of life, and increase opportunities for'citizen employment. This will enhance the non-residential taxbase to allow for more tax revenues and better public services. • Page 5
