To provide a local presence in the counties served and to assure that each county has input into the services received by its residents, the twenty-four county catchment area will have three regions. The regions have been designed to equalize, to the extent possible, the number of counties, population in the region, and overall square mileage of the regions. The three regions and the counties served are Northern Region: Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Gates, Hertford, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank and Perquimans Counties. Central Region: Beaufort, Craven, Dare,Hyde, Pamlico, Pitt, Tyrell and Washington Counties. Southern Region: Brunswick, Carteret, Jones,New Hanover, Onslow and Pender Counties.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners adopts this day this resolution in opposition of any federal legislation or executive action that would eliminate the federal tax-exemption on municipal bonds.
