(The Element Lead Advisory Boards include: Planning Board, EDC, OUTBoard, <br /> Commission for the Environment, Historic Preservation Commission, Agriculture Preservation <br /> Board, Affordable Housing Board, Recreation and Parks Advisory Council) <br /> NA <br /> Identify any activities this board/commission expects to carry out in 2021 as they relate to <br /> established BOCC goals and priorities. If applicable, is there a fiscal impact (i.e., funding, staff <br /> time, other resources) associated with these proposed activities (please list). <br /> Goal 1: Ensure a community network of basic human services and infrastructure that maintains <br /> protects and promotes the well-being of all County residents. <br /> AND <br /> Goal 4: Invest in quality County facilities, a diverse work force, and technology to achieve a high <br /> performing County government. <br /> • Infrastructure <br /> o Access to creative space is important for our arts community, as well as residents. A <br /> lack of arts space remains a challenge in Orange County. In 2021, we will continue to <br /> work with the Eno Mill to provide space for artists and community. New possible <br /> programs include a children's theater program, ceramics studio, community dark room, <br /> and class space. <br /> • Access <br /> o Access to arts experiences is critical to the overall well-being of County residents of all <br /> ages. An increase in physical space for the arts would allow local artist organizations <br /> the flexibility to provide more scholarships and free experiences for the public, ensuring <br /> access despite socioeconomic status. <br /> o All new Eno Mill arts spaces will be designed to be barrier-free to ensure accessibility <br /> for all types of people regardless of socioeconomic status and abilities. <br /> Goal 3: Implement planning and economic development policies which create a balanced, dynamic <br /> local economy, and which promote diversity, sustainable growth, and enhanced revenue while <br /> embracing community values. <br /> • Economic Development <br /> o A thriving arts community attracts visitors and businesses and contributes to economic <br /> growth for the overall economy. The OCAC will continue to work with local leaders to <br /> ensure the arts are supported as they prepare to reopen post-pandemic. <br /> o The OCAC, in partnership with fourteen community organizations, will continue planning <br /> for Art on the Hill (working title), a large-scale, county-wide public art event taking place <br /> in July, 2022. The event will drive visitors into the downtown communities of Chapel Hill, <br /> Carrboro, and Hillsborough during a traditionally slow time of year. <br /> Goal 6: Ensure a high quality of life and lifelong learning that champions diversity, education at all <br /> levels, libraries, parks, recreation, and animal welfare. <br /> 0 Diversity <br />
