I have always been interested in <br /> the historical background of this area. I am very familiar with the centralized location of Orange <br /> County within the Triangle and Triad and the important role we play in setting precedents for <br /> responsible development in surrounding municipalities. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> It is my wish to serve, and represent, my community in an impactful capacity. I believe that <br /> younger generations are not adequately represented in local government and it is my goal to <br /> become a voice for civic engagement, even if the topics aren t sexy. Having spent the last 100 <br /> days deep diving into publicly available documents on future land use a€" I have come to learn a <br /> great deal about the how the Planning Board advises County Commissioners to make decisions <br /> based on plans and objectives previously laid out, and incorporating public concerns. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Understanding and communicating the viewpoints of others is a skillset of mine. Having always <br /> been interested in why people make the decisions they do, my profession requires me to find a <br /> data driven middle ground. I offer the fresh perspective of a rural resident who very much wants <br /> to see economic development bring prosperity to historically underserved communities. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> My perceived COI is that I live in a rural residential area subject to industrial development. <br />
