Abstract:
A new report from the Conservation Trust for North Carolina finds that open space is disappearing. The report looks at maps that show housing density from the 1940s to the present and the projected growth trends up to 2030.

The Conservation Trust’s government relations director, Edgar Miller, talks about what can be done about the problem.
