Abstract:

The expansion of US Highway 64 could further pollute Jordan Lake. The expansion could also uproot Chatham County businesses as they move to accommodate the new expanded road. The road would run from Pittsboro over Jordan Lake to Apex and Cary and would be designed to speed up travel time from Charlotte to Raleigh. The state does not currently have the funding to pay for the expansion and it does not have a plan to work with the federal environmental regulations governing Jordan Lake.
