Amen!! I started the Stop Over-developing I'm Brunswick County group and will tell you from experience that this is still going on with developers now! Ashton Farms was rezoned for high density residential 1,266 acres with over 400 being HISTORICAL WETLANDS, Carolina Bay/Regional Significance, all surrounding properties are NOT high res. but low and agricultural lands that haven't been rezoned!! They were denied building on this property in November and just took it back to get approval to build 2,750 homes! We had an environmental attorney there and pleaded with the county to just continue it and study these wetlands and wildlife more. NOPE! DEVELOPERS ARE DRAINING WRTLANDS AND WE HAVE PROOF. ITS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION RIGHT NOW! I WILL NOT LET ASHTON FARMS OR ANY OTHER DEVELOPER DESTROY US WITHOIT DIGGING INTO THEM! MAKING SURE THEY DO IT RIGHT! OUR COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ALL THESE HOMES COMING IN AND POPULATION GROWTH! There's Forte and Williams that's a HUGE problem in our county. We need a MORATORIUM TO STOP ALL THESR DEVELOPMENTS UNTIL OUR INFRASTRUCTURE CATCHES UP, THE UDO IS CHANGED, IMPACT FEES GO UP, AND TREE ORDINANCE WITH THE BANNING OF CLEARCUTTING! We are not a normal town the will just grow. We are a COASTAL County that will FLOOD more! We flood now with 2 days of rain that keeps our kids home from school!! I would LOVE to speak to the author nore about everything I have dug up and more about the COMMUNITIES concerns. I also started a nonprofit Brunswick County Conservation Partnership to save our lands!
You have expressed and have taken action on what I have been ruminating on now for most of the seven years that I have lived in the Leland area. I have just started to dig into the why’s and how’s of what you have brought to the forefront . Thank you for your constructive plan to bring the heat for the many of us in this community who desire to band together to combat the reckless and abusive development of Leland and other areas of Brunswick County. We the county residents must be a voice to stop the development before it becomes too late and unstoppable. These seemingly unaccountable entities must be called to account or our beautiful, environmentally diverse Brunswick County that so many of us relocated to enjoy will be turned into an urban blight that we fled from.

This prompts me to perhaps put together a small post about some of the topics you bring up.
