Resolution
PURPOSE: To consider a resolution re-naming the Orange County Farmers' Market
Pavilion to the David Price Farmers' Market Pavilion.
BACKGROUND: Congressman David Price has served as a United States
Representative for North Carolina's 4th Congressional District since 1997, and
previously from 1987 to 1995. Throughout his career as a public official, he has
provided support to elected officials as well as residents of Orange County in an
intelligent, sensitive, and inclusive manner. Congressman David Price has been a
steadfast advocate for Orange County over the years by helping to secure federal
funding for many important projects that improved the quality of life for County
residents. These projects include:
• In 2002, Congressman Price secured federal grant funds for Orange County in the
amount of $90,000 to help local officials build a shelter for the Hillsborough Farmers
Market. The grant funds were used for the construction of the Orange County Public
Market House in the River Park area behind the Orange County Courthouse in
Hillsborough.
• In 2003, Congressman David Price worked to secure funds for Orange County
totaling $900,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Special
Appropriations Grant funds program. The funds were secured for the construction of
the Central Efland and North Buckhorn sewer improvements.
• In 2005, Congressman David Price secured $500,000 for additional water and sewer
improvements to the Northern Human Services Center (now Cedar Grove
Community Center) and the Mebane-Efland corridor in the economic development
district serving the middle school, soccer complex and the community of Buckhorn
2
Road. Also, $150,000 was added to improve equipment at the Emergency Services-
911 Center.
• In 2009, Congressman Price assisted Orange County in efforts to secure a $237,500
Economic Development Initiative grant from the US Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) to support the establishment of the Piedmont Food and
Agricultural Processing Center in Hillsborough.
In recognition and appreciation of Congressman Price's efforts, it is proposed for Board
consideration that the Orange County Farmers' Market Pavilion be re-named to the
David Price Farmers' Market Pavilion.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact related to this discussion.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is
applicable to this agenda item:
• GOAL: ENABLE FULL CIVIC PARTICIPATION
Ensure that Orange County residents are able to engage government through
