ORANGE COUNTY
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: September 17, 2024
Action Agenda
Item No. 8-c
SUBJECT: Annexation of the Piedmont Food Processing Center (PFPC) Property by the
Town of Hillsborough
DEPARTMENT: Asset Management Services
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Annexation Application Alan Dorman, Asset Management
Services Director, 919-245-2627
PURPOSE: To approve the submittal of a request that the Town of Hillsborough annex the
Piedmont Food Processing Center property and authorize the Chair to sign the application form.
BACKGROUND: The Piedmont Food Processing Center ("PFPC") is a County-owned facility
located at 500 Valley Forge Road in Hillsborough. The County has a management agreement
with PFPC, a North Carolina non-profit, that manages a shared kitchen incubator for small
businesses selling food-based products.
PFPC is requesting that Orange County seek voluntary annexation of the property as all parcels
on Valley Forge Road have been annexed into the town except this County-owned property. As
an out-of-town parcel, PFPC pays almost double the in-town water rates. Annexation would allow
PFPC to pay the lower in-town water rates and significantly reduce its utility costs, saving between
$9,000 and $11,000 annually. There would be no fiscal impact on the County with annexation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There would be no financial impact to the County if the Town of
Hillsborough annexes the PFPC property.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: There are no Orange County Strategic Plan Goals
applicable to this item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize the
Chair to sign the annexation form requesting the Town of Hillsborough annex the Piedmont Food
Processing Center property.
