Interlocal Agreement
PURPOSE: To consider appointing one Commissioner, one Orange County farmer, County
Manager (or designee) and the Cooperative Extension Director to the Steering Committee for
the Piedmont Food & Agricultural Processing Center.
BACKGROUND: The Piedmont Food & Agricultural Processing Center is a multi-county effort
involving Alamance, Chatham, Durham, and Orange Counties, as well as Weaver Street Market
and Whole Foods and is an example of public-private collaboration in the Piedmont Region.
The shared-use facility located at 500 Valley Forge Road in Hillsborough, NC will allow farmers
and local food entrepreneurs in the Piedmont region to better compete in the emerging BUY
LOCAL, EAT SEASONAL, FARM to FORK economy. This value-added processing center in
Hillsborough is within a 1.5 hour drive of 15,378 farms in a 22 county area, nearly one-third of all
farms in North Carolina, according to 2007 USDA statistics.
Recently the center has been awarded $1,127,319 from five agencies, including the NC
Tobacco Trust Fund, the Golden Leaf Foundation, NC Agricultural Development and Farmland
Preservation Trust Fund, US Housing & Urban Development— Economic Development
Initiative, and the Rural Advancement Foundation International USA—Tobacco Communities
Initiative.
The Center is scheduled to open in March 2011 and will provide a wide range of food
processing equipment in a commercial kitchen. Planning includes business development
education, especially for food-based businesses. The processing center should be financially
sustainable in its third year of operation through the collection of user and program fees and
from the fundraising effort of the nonprofit entity that will be formed to manage the center.
This Steering Committee, created June 3, 2010, will consist of a County Commissioner, a
County Manager (or his designee) the Cooperative Extension Director of each of the Parties
2
(Alamance, Chatham, Durham, & Orange Counties) and a local farmer from each county.
Orange County will act as the fiscal agent and engage in grant development for a regional
value-added, shared-use, food and agricultural processing center. Upon the termination of this
Agreement the Steering Committee shall automatically dissolve.
Alamance County has chosen to appoint members for the duration of the interlocal agreement
which means their expiration dates will be in 2015.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of their mutual promises, Alamance
County,.Chatham County,Durham County.,and Orange County hereby agree as follows:
L Purpose
The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the undertakings of the Parties hereto with
regard to their respective contributions, obligations, and participation in the multi jurisdictional
operation of the Center.
2. Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center
The Center will be a regional value-added, shared-use, food and agricultural processing
center. This project will build capacity for local farmers to meet the increasing consumer
demand for retail and wholesale marketing of locally grown farm products in the Piedmont
Region of North Carolina. The Center will accommodate a range of processing needs and allow
for future expansion. Business development support and education, especially training for new
food-based businesses, developing business plans, and meeting food safety requirements will
allow the center to engage rural farm communities with the opportunities offered by the Center.
Revenue projections from user fees that provide incentives for sourcing locally grown farm
products is approximately $150,000 by year 3 of operation, with gross income for clients using
the facility estimated at$2,651,000 per year.
This Center will have the potential to serve farmers on 16,214 farms in 22 counties within
a 75-mile radius of Hillsborough, North Carolina, representing almost 30% of farms statewide.
Farmers and their.rural communities as well as tobacco processing and marketing communities
can benefit from participating in training and education programs, adding value to and marketing
local farm product. Within the 22-county area, this Center can enhance-the capacity to process
local farm products for the 3.3 million individuals who are potential customers for the products
created at the Center.
The short-term goal of the project is to open a regional value-added shared use food and
agricultural processing Center in July of 2010 with a range of programs and equipment. The
success of the short term goal will be measured by client use and revenues generated by the
Center, as well as training and assistance to farmers and other food entrepreneurs. The long term
goal is to become financially independent by 2013. This will be accomplished by building the
capacity to process and market North Carolina agricultural products, thereby increasing the
number and diversity of farm operations that help to sustain the Piedmont Region.
