Abstract:

Urban and regional planners forecast population size and number of school-aged children to estimate the demand for public facilities and services over near-term and long-term planning horizons. They also estimate the economic, environmental and fiscal impacts of new development projects on local jurisdictions. State planners forecast public-school enrollments generated by county-level residential development and demographic change.

Abstract:

Livestock farm regulation, especially corporate hog farms, is the source of conflict throughout North Carolina. An important part of the State's economy, hog farming has become a significant political issue as well. The debate over hog farm regulation hinges on who should bear the costs of externalities associated with a high level of pork production.
