Abstract:

One of Brunswick County's fastest growing areas is along the N.C. 211 corridor, where over 22,000 single-family and multi-family home permits have been issued since 1999. Such growth threatens the Lockwood Folly River and nearby wetlands and marshes. Smith discusses how a number of groups, including concerned citizens, county officials, state and federal agencies, and environmentalists, are working to preserve the river and surrounding areas.

Mosher, Katie

Abstract:

The North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation in 2006 establishing the North Carolina Waterfront Access Study Committee. Access to water along the state's coastline is a hot topic, because piers, boat ramps, and other access points are being sold to developers. Getting to the water is becoming more difficult for the average citizen. Mosher reports on action taken by the 2007 General Assembly in response to the recommendations from the study commission.
