This project requests <br /> 10 $68,200 to create four office spaces. An underutilized storage room in the Whitted <br /> 11 medical clinic would replace the current waiting area. The new waiting area will be next <br /> 12 to the entry to the clinic and would improve wayfinding and patient flow. This project is <br /> 13 funded using Medicaid Maximization Funds. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Parks, Open Space, and Trail Development <br /> 16 The Board has consistently expressed support for parks, open space, and trail development <br /> 17 that preserves natural areas of the County and promotes nature activities for County residents. <br /> 18 This support is represented by the Parks and Open Space Master Plan as well as the individual <br /> 19 master plans that have been adopted and periodically updated for each park property. The <br /> 20 FY2019-20 CIP recommends funding for the following projects: <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Cedar Grove Park Phase II - $550,000 <br /> 23 Funding proposed in FY 2019-20 would fund Phase II-A of the Park's development. This <br /> 24 phase of development would feature an additional small baseball/softball fields to <br /> 25 address the loss of similar t-ball fields in Hillsborough in 2020 and associated parking <br /> 26 and infrastructure. Phase II-B in Years 6-10 would add tennis courts, a picnic shelter <br /> 27 and additional parking. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Mountains to Sea Trail - $289,000 <br /> 30 The Mountains to Sea Trail (MST) is a part of the N.C. State Parks system that is <br /> 31 planned to connect the Great Smoky Mountains with the Outer Banks by trail. A portion <br /> 32 of the trail runs through Orange County.

The initial segment will also include pedestrian <br /> 36 crossing improvements over Interstate 85/40. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 River Park Phase II - $150,000 <br /> 39 River Park is located behind the justice facilities in Hillsborough. Several improvements <br /> 40 to the park are currently underway. These improvements anticipated a small scale <br /> 41 performance shell, but as needs and opportunities were evaluated, an enhanced <br /> 42 performance shell could significantly benefit the park and service to residents. FY2019- <br /> 43 20 funding is included to construct an enhanced performance shell using outside funds <br /> 44 raised through a private fundraising campaign. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Little River Park Phase II - $50,000 <br /> 47 Little River Park is a joint Orange County and Durham County initiative guided by an <br /> 48 Interlocal agreement that divides expenses equally between the two counties.
