What percent of project materials will be purchased from sources within Orange County or North <br />Carolina? <br /> <br />We will state a preference for trees to be sourced within Orange County and North Carolina, but <br />we do not know what the final percentage will be at this time. <br /> <br />34. Please describe any other aspect of your project that is relevant to local economic development. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Amount and Duration of Engagement <br /> <br />35. Please describe how you will engage with and/or educate project participants. <br /> <br />If awarded, our plan is to work directly with the residents within these Census block groups (e.g., <br />Northside Neighborhood) to inquire about the best locations for planting trees. We are also <br />considering tree signage (tags) that would promote and educate about the positive impacts of <br />the project, including the ecosystem service benefits. <br /> <br />36. How will you measure the success of that engagement or educational effort? <br /> <br />We have a biannual community survey, as well as a climate action survey that we ran for the first <br />time this spring and summer. We could use both or one of these to inquire about whether or not <br />residents are aware of this and other climate action projects. We could also speak with <br />community leaders and residents within the two Census block groups to gauge their perspective. <br /> <br />37. Please describe any other aspect of your project that is relevant to the amount, or quality, or length <br />of engagement and education that your project will produce. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Time to Complete <br /> <br />38. How much time will your project require to demonstrate the positive impacts you describe? <br /> <br />If awarded, we estimate that this project could be completed within 3-6 months. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 8858BEA8-FD65-4E72-A32A-868C9BDDE075
