The Orange County Board of Commissioners is recruiting citizen volunteers for the Orange County Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Taskforce. This taskforce will evaluate the feasibility of establishing a TDR program in all or portions of the county. The taskforce will address: Sustainably balancing rural and urban areas, directing growth and development away from important natural and cultural resources and toward areas with municipal service potential and able to support urban densities, providing working farms with an alternative income potential, and developing policies to accommodate the sending and receiving areas of housing density and economic development to be added to the Comprehensive Plan. The County has hired a consultant to help in this endeavor.
The Board of Commissioners encourage all Orange County residents who are interested in the concept of a TDR program to apply for this taskforce. For more information on this and other Orange County Volunteer opportunities, visit the Orange County website, www.co.orange.nc.us or Contact the Office of the Clerk at 245-2125 or mevans@co.orange.nc.us for more information.
When applying for this board, please indicate your area of interest on your application (ex: Banking, Real Estate, Agriculture, Developer, Law, Planning, Natural Areas Advocacy, Environment, Utilities, Local Government, Community/Neighborhood Advocates, Other)
