BACKGROUND: Per an agreement reached between Orange County and the US Postal Service, all rural box numbers are being converted to street addresses within the County. The conversion is a continuation of the project begun in 1987 to change all County addresses to permanently assigned house numbers. To date twenty eight (28) routes have been changed (Chapel Hill routes 1,2,4,5, 6,7,8, 10, 11,13 and 15; Hillsborough routes 1,2, 3,4,5, 6,7 and 8; Durham routes 1,2 and 7 ; Rougemont routes 2 and 3; Cedar Grove route 1; Efland routes 2 and 3 ; and Hurdle Mills route 1) . with the Commissioners' approval of the Mebane routes, the County-wide project of rural route conversion to street addresses will be completed. A total of 33 routes and partial routes will have been assigned sequentially- numbered house numbers. Follow-up tasks will include the inventorying of road signs for corrected names and spelling, and the placement on road signs of block-range numbers consistent with the new address system. At that time, a field review will be conducted for houses and buildings which did not receive new addresses during the three-year course of the project. Assignments will be made as required and daily maintenance of the address system will be on-going within the Planning and Inspections Department.
