TRIANGLE J COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS <br />World Class Region <br />PROPOSAL TO MANAGE A VALUE-ADDED AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT FOR CHATHAM, HARNETT, LEE, AND JOHNSTON <br />COUNTIES <br />DATE: August 24`h, 2018 <br />Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Johnston counties have been exploring the idea of developing a value-added <br />agricultural district among the four counties, summarized in the Increasing Value Added Agriculture report from <br />Economic Leadership LLC. This is a proposal for a one-year effort to complete the Year One tasks identified in the <br />report, which include facilitation and convening to help establish and manage the district; roles that TJCOG is <br />particularly skilled and experienced in. The tasks listed in years two and three in the report are more centered <br />around marketing, which is not a role that TJCOG typically plays. We would suggest transitioning the <br />implementation of these tasks to another organization that excels at economic development marketing and <br />outreach, such as Research Triangle Regional Partnership. The proposed scope of work for the Year One tasks is <br />below. <br />Please contact Lee Worsley, lworslevPticog.ora 919-558-9395 with any questions or feedback. <br />AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES <br />4307 Emperor Boulevard, Suite 110 <br />Durham, NC 27703 www.ticog.org <br />919.549.0551 ��TJCOGnc <br />@TJCOG <br />
