Page 2 of 2 ; 0 7 <br /> " The potential acquisition of these properties will provide an <br /> excellent opportunity for the co - location of public facilities , " <br /> said Commissioner Margaret Brown . " Not only is this type <br /> of planning wise stewardship of taxpayer money , it provides <br /> wonderful recreation opportunities for the citizens of Chapel <br /> Hill , Carrboro and all of Orange County . I think it shows we <br /> are looking toward the future and anticipating the needs of <br /> our citizens . " <br /> The cost of the potential acquisitions is $ 4 . 6 million in total , <br /> or approximately $ 23 , 500 per acre . This price is consistent <br /> with land prices in this area , which is in the Town of <br /> Carrboro ' s Northern Transition Area and the OWASA <br /> Water and Sewer Service area , and is also consistent with <br /> recent land acquisitions for schools and recreational sites <br /> in the general area . <br /> Additional information about the potential acquisitions may <br /> be found at http : // www . co . oran ,,e . nc . us/OCCLERKS/010501 . htm <br />
