Orange County
Last week The Carrboro Citizen reported on Orange County leaders congratulating themselves on making major technology improvements over the past two years. "“Today’s servers are tomorrow’s mainframes, and we do have to have that kind of continuous upgrade of systems,” board Vice Chair Steve Yuhasz said." He's right of course, but it sounds like many of the changes were to internal infrastructure, so it's hard for us average residents to tell the difference. I'm wondering what technology OP readers would like to see the County improve?
One improvement that I did notice was the update to the web-based GIS system. Mostly it caught my attention because the County's site was down and/or malfunctioning for a while following the upgrade. It is now easier to use than before, which I would characterize as a step up from requiring a graduate degree to use, to merely requiring a lot of patience and guesswork.

WCHL is reporting that
Orange County Economic Development director Brad Broadwell has resigned. This is on the heels of the Town of Carrboro Economic Development Director James Harris announcing his retirement. Is this a opportunity or a disaster for local economic development? Is this a coincidence or a shake up by local government to prepare for change?
Its been a really intersting six months or so for economic development in Orange County. Change is definatly afoot. But what will rise from the ashes? I don't think anyone really knows for sure. But that isn't going to stop me from guessing.
More than 300 Justice United delegates from active congregations, associations, and neighborhoods operating in Orange County will gather to advance and celebrate public agreements with elected and private leaders.
Agenda also includes the kick off of our new county-wide listening campaign that will involve hundreds of Orange County residents with the goal of generating a new Justice United agenda for 2011.
Date:
Thursday, December 9, 2010 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm
Location:
Binkley Baptist Church, 1712 Willow St, Chapel Hill
