PURPOSE: To update the Board of County Commissioners on progress of the Orange County/
Durham 1-85/ US 70 Economic Development District Cooperative Planning Area.
BACKGROUND: Respective Orange County and City of Durham staffs have developed some
preliminary recommendations regarding cooperative planning systems between both jurisdictions:

joint interest. Those topics include:
I. Planning
11. Water and Sewer
III. Annexation

After this progress report work-session, planning staffs are prepared to present our preliminary
reports to respective managers and then to governing boards in the next few months. The purpose
of these cooperative planning efforts is to improve land use and transportation decisions, improve

inquiries for development in the area, as well as, respond to public health emergencies such as
failed septic systems.
