<br />®RANGE C®U~1'Y <br />Economic Development <br />Commission <br />May 29, 2007 <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />c/o Clerk's Office <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />The Nominating Committee for the Orange County Economic Development Commission <br />(EDC) recently reviewed the applicants for the Commission. As you know, there are <br />currently three vacancies, including one to be appointed by the Town of Mebane. <br />For the two at-large slots, we respectfully recommend Mark Brantley and Kathleen <br />Yarbrough. Mark is a resident of Chapel Hill and along-term employee of the North <br />Carolina Department of Commerce, specializing in Asian markets. As we work to get <br />the word out that "Orange County is open for business," it would be good to have an ally <br />inside Commerce. <br />Kathleen is a resident of Hillsborough, an employee of Quintiles, and has been an <br />effective and engaged participant in the Highway 70/Cornelius Street Corridor Planning <br />Project. She has taken the lead in exploring the creation of a community development <br />corporation for the Fairview area and has vowed to continue working on the project in <br />the implementation phase. <br />We feel that these two applicants would make an outstanding contribution to the work of <br />the EDC. Thanks for your attention to this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert Ward JlJN I) ~ 20Q7 <br />Chair <br />C: EDC Files . <br />~ - -- <br />~, __ - <br />~'I <br />-,i~1 oV_n~'~~~Y r~~,~,ai,~ i J I. `1"_,,ur, 1'.~,+'n,:~~}, 1 I~fo~~nl~LoF: <br />1 _ <br />
