ORANGE COUNTY TO HOST PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS

ORANGE COUNTY, NC (November 5, 2012)—The Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation invites Orange County residents to participate in two public input sessions to help plan for a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

The County is in the process of creating a new Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan, with assistance from consulting professors at UNC-Greensboro (UNC-G).  

The first meeting will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14, at the Southern Human Service Center, located at 2501 Homestead Road in Chapel Hill.  The second meeting will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 15, at the Walnut Grove United Methodist Church, located at 7215 Walnut Grove Church Road in Hurdle Mills.

Public input is encouraged.  These meetings will give residents an opportunity to share their perspectives on County parks and programs, as well as make suggestions and ultimately help to guide the future of the County’s parks facilities and recreation programs. Information gathered at these sessions will be considered when preparing the Master Plan. A draft master plan is expected to be presented in the Spring of 2013.
