N.C. 27279 <br /> August 5, 1999 <br /> The Honorable Margaret Brown <br /> Chairwoman <br /> Orange County Commissioners • <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. <br /> • <br /> Re: Orange County Court Facilities <br /> Dear Ms. Brown: <br /> Since the Orange County Commissioners engaged John Berry to design and <br /> build the courthouse in 1845, the people of Orange County have long benefited <br /> from having this outstanding expression of the ideal of justice, the authority of law, <br /> county identity and the pride of citizens. This Old Courthouse, the 1956 courthouse, <br /> and the Battle Courtroom reflect our continuing commitment to an open, dignified, <br /> and equal democracy and justice system. Commissioners, citizens, and court <br /> officials have worked together to build and maintain facilities that play a critically <br /> important role in seeking a just society. <br /> Growth and new services now stress our court facilities. We have immediate <br /> needs that daily affect the administration of justice. We must seize the opportunity <br /> to build on our historical commitment to judicial facilities by addressing present <br /> and future needs. <br /> • <br /> One of my highest priorities as Senior Resident Superior Court Judge is to <br /> work with you to address immediate facility needs and develop a long-range plan. I <br /> am confident that our cooperative effort will result in the improvements that will <br /> benefit both the public and the courthouse staff I whole-heartedly support our <br /> Wade Barber letter of support; court facilities.max <br />
