She said there have <br /> also been several implementation measures over the years, including a swap of jurisdictional <br /> lands, basically swapping EJS and non-ETJ areas. Additionally, there was an expansion of the <br /> economic development area south of 1-40 in 2020. She added that at some point during the mid- <br /> 2010s, Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough adopted a resolution indicating both <br /> jurisdictions considered the implementation of the plan to be complete. Perdita Holtz explained <br /> that the map shows the boundaries of the Hillsborough urban service area, the area the town <br /> anticipated serving with water and sewer. She said the Board will hear more later about the utility <br /> capacity study and the sustainability plan that Hillsborough completed approximately two years <br /> ago. She explained that eventually, the town will initiate the process to pull back its utility service <br /> area due to capacity constraints, which would require amendments to this plan. <br /> Commissioner Carter asked if there was anything in place like this before the COCA, or if <br /> this was a greenfield-type effort. <br /> Perdita Holtz said this was a greenfield-type effort except for a courtesy review agreement <br /> for development projects that was in place before, and still is in place, with the Town of <br /> Hillsborough. <br />
