\t of Nortq ~\~ JAMES G. MARTIN GOVERNOR EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 25 REGIONAL POLICY FOR NORTH CAROLINA In 1970, this State delineated boundaries for multi-county planning and development regions and in 1971 a Lead Regional Organization was designated for each region to establish goals and objectives, and serve as the regional agent in dealing with state and federal agencies.
